Shelley was an absolutely wonderful host who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. From the moment I arrived, her warm and friendly nature made me feel right at home. By the end of my stay, Shelley felt more like a friend than a host, and I genuinely appreciated her kindness and thoughtful touches throughout my visit.
And Enzo—what a gem! He is the most gorgeous, lovable dog ever. His playful energy and sweet demeanor made every day brighter. Enzo’s charm was impossible to resist.
I wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you have the chance. Shelley and Enzo make for an unforgettable experience!

Shelly was lovely and friendly and we loved her dog Enzo , however there was multiple occassions the dog would bark at all hours of the morning and wake us up. When we came home he would also nip or run at the door which is fair hes a dog but I was a little scared as he is a big dog. The smell of the Dog in the home was also very strong. A few nights stay is fine but I dont think I would reccommend for long stays. Great location and close to the sky train and bus to downtown :)
Host reply
Alanna, in our early communications you stated one of the reasons you booked my place was because of Enzo, so I'm a little perplexed at your comment that on multiple occasions he would bark at all hours of the morning! Dobermans are natural guard dogs and yes he protects his home and his pack! I hope you consider in the future that you don't stay with a host who has a dog, as dogs bark they guard! As far as the nipping, I find this confusing as Enzo has never nipped at a humane or dog his whole life, he is the most non-aggressive 4 legged being I have ever had the privilege of owning! And if this was an issue I wish you had addressed it with me so any bad behavior could of been addressed at the time! As far as dog scent, thank you for letting me know, I pride myself on having a clean home for my guests and a comfortable, relaxing room for their stay, sometimes we get nose blind, so thanks for the heads up! I am always open to suggestions to make my guests stay wonderful while they explore this beautiful city at a very economical price point! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!

I had a great stay with Shelley (and Enzo) in Vancouver. Shelley was friendly, welcoming, and available to help me settle in and answer any questions. The apartment is clean and comfortable and it's great having Enzo the friendly Doberman around for company as well. It's located in a great area with easy access to transport, shops, eateries, and services. I would stay here again.

Thank you Alanna, wishing you both all the best in your endeavors!

Chris and I had a lovely time at Shelley's. Her home and the room were clean and tidy, very comfortable. She has a lovely dog that is so friendly and gentle. Shelley is also such a lovely person - I agree with the previous comment that she is like our 'mum' in Vancouver - she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, she is a generous person and also has lots of local tips and tricks about Canada. This was our first trip to Canada & North America and what a great welcome we've had. Thank you Shelley!
