    Convenient location and a generally cozy area, but somewhat spoiled by a lack of cleanliness.

    The accommodations were not clean. The bathroom floors were pretty filthy, so shower shoes are a necessity. In general I had trouble feeling comfortable here due to the lack of cleanliness. My review would be much higher if the property was cleaner. Having an unclean area would be unacceptable of a hotel.

    The host is very accommodating which is nice. The location of the stay is also convenient to the sky train. Lots of street parking which is great as well.

    Bathroom was dirty and when I asked for products to clean it, the host came and did it himself, but it was still dirty. Asked again for cleaning products the next morning and was told it was clean, the tiles were just old. Host eventually came and cleaned it again and left cleaning products there. Finally was able to scrub areas myself to prove that they do come clean with some effort. Have to conclude that we have different standards of clean than the hosts.

    Bedroom was clean and comfortable. Kitchen had the essentials (but no microwave). Comfortable temperature and adequate facilities. Use of laundry was fabulous. 10mins to closest train.

    The kitchen is adequate, and there's a good dining area. Nobody should have any trouble finding the place; just get off the Skytrain at the Edmonds Station, then follow the Skytrain tracks west.

    The bathroom was very dirty and wasn't cleaned once during my stay. Also there is a smell like humid in the whole area. A dehumidifier would be needed to get rid of the smell.

    The room was clean and the bed is comfortable. The location is wonderful!

    The whole basement apartment smelled, was full of hair and spiders. The bathroom had no bath mat, clean hand soap, or sanitary surfaces to put anything on. It was full of dust, hair, and mold with only a dirty hairy bar soap provided. You couldn’t lay, sit, or move a single limb without the bed making an insane amount of noise. The whole place had paper thin walls while also undergoing construction our whole stay. Only one towel provided per guest even though we booked for almost a week. There was no screen on the windows meaning if you want any fresh air prepare to have bees, flies, and raccoons all within fingers reach. Overall a terrible stay regardless of price I think the minimum is not having to clean everything you want to use during your stay.

    It was walking distance from a nice park and close to metro station. There were disinfecting wipes convenient considering you had to clean everything you touched. Cute dog upstairs though.

    If possible, they can put some papertowel or kitchen towel or something in the kitchen area. Also paper towels in the bathroom. However, it was fine I brought some extra towel with me.

    It was really close to the place I wanted to go. Good walk to Metrotown. Also walking distance from the Edmonds station. Very quiet neighborhood.

    The common areas, dining room, kitchen and bathroom were all dirty, and obviously had not been cleaned before our stay. We had bought a breakfast to eat, but decided to go out after we saw the uncleanliness of the kitchen. The bathroom sink and mirror were covered in soap stains and the shower had some mold in it.

    Good location, 15 minute walk through a park from the skytrain station. Bed was comfortable and online communication with the owner was good. No in person contact.

    We stayed at the Economical Home Stay for just one night. However, even the arrival at the building was accompanied by an incredible mess. The rooms themselves aren’t that bad, and they look relatively decent. Unfortunately, the omnipresent dirt, uncleaned bathroom, and the mess in the yard in front of the building suggested that we would never visit this accommodation again. It’s not that cheap, and cleaning and mopping daily shouldn’t be an issue. I doubt that the bed linen was clean and freshly washed. It would also be good to equip the kitchen, at least with basic items like glasses, a kettle, etc. I cannot recommend this place.

    The only thing I would suggest is adding a microwave.

    It was a great location, very quiet but super close to transit. The house was clean and comfortable, they added a fan due to the hot weather and had extra blankets in the room if it was cold. Very safe place with a kind family. I really enjoyed my stay and will be coming back!
