    A friendly welcoming host who offered a different cooked breakfast option each day all of which were healthy and nutritious. We had access to a shared kitchen with tea and coffee provided and a relaxed seating area and garden. Within easy walking distance to Pacific Spirit Park and lots of information provided about local attractions and transport links. The quiet hours suited us.

    The room is in the basement (which has a window), but the walls in the bedroom and bathroom are painted in quite dark colours - the room and ensuite would feel much brighter if painted in lighter colours.

    Quiet location just a couple of blocks from shops, cafes and restaurants on Dunbar. Comfortable bed and nice linen/duvet/towels. Host is very friendly and cheerful.

    It was very clean, and the host was very sweet Everything was comfortable. The only thing that I had a problem with was the late check-in time. Although she did let us check in at 3:00 instead of 5:00 but we really didn't have access to the room until 5:00.

    We greatly appreciated the excellent breakfasts served by the land lady. She's a wonderful woman who helped us with some good ideas of what to see around the city. The whole backyard was available for us. Very friendly and calm neighbourhood, away from main roads, but short, 5 min. walking distance from the public transportation. Our bed linen was replaced and room cleaned half way through our stay, just after 4 days or so. We highly recommend the House on Dunbar 🥰

    Good location, nice yard, and big breakfasts, but the dank basement made for an unpleasant stay.

    When we arrived, the bathroom sink was dirty and had hair in it. The unit is in the basement, which I don't recall seeing listed on the Booking.com site. The basement smelled musty and damp. We were able to open a window in our unit but it took a whole day for that smell to disappear. There is black mould on the bathroom tiles. The room was cramped and the bed was average. It would have been nice to be offered to eat breakfast outside in the fresh open air rather than the musty basement kitchen. Compared to what we payed for a beautiful room in Tofino, this room is overpriced, but hey, that's Vancouver for you!

    Host is friendly and accommodated our dietary requests. The neighbourhood is lovely. The backyard space was nice, although we didn't use it. It would have been nice to have the breakfasts outside.

    The location is in a residential section with nothing much in walking distance, the bus stop is several blocks away, you really need a car. The room is small and crowded, it was not clean to our standards, we asked the owner to clean it again and she did. We stayed in a second floor room and we had to walk through the private residence where the owner often was sitting, and her bedroom was next to ours, lack of privacy. It was awkward and unlike our other experiences at B & B's or Airbnb's. The front steps are treacherous and my spouse, a builder, said they would not comply with most building codes. At breakfast you have to sit on these hard cold ceramic stools, quite uncomfortable. Other guests we talked to felt the same.

    The hot breakfast was pretty good. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious

    This place is basically someone's normal house that is rented out to multiple guests and not much of an official B&B. You can hear everyone and everything. The cleanliness could have improved by a lot: visible stains on bed sheets and pillowcases, dust and spider webs in the room. We had a safe and ok stay overall but it definitely was not meeting our expectations especially given the price.

    The location was nice and quiet. Socializing with other guests over breakfast was interesting and Joanne is a nice and respectful host. Enjoyable backyard.
