Gitarrenloft in der Stadt

Staying in Mt. Pleasant was an unforgettable experience. The neighborhood is full of charm, with colorful murals, Victorian-style houses, and a laid-back atmosphere filled with great coffee shops, restaurants, and local breweries. It really felt like I was living like a local.

Wil is a kind, relaxed, and generous host. He not only made me feel right at home, but also introduced me to his friends and even took the time to have dinner and drinks with me and my local friend. It was such a warm and memorable evening. The kind of genuine connection you simply don’t get from staying at a hotel.

This stay provided me with a genuine insight into the local lifestyle and community. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a personal, meaningful, and heartwarming experience in Vancouver.

Wil is an amazing and very generous Host. He was very kind and helpful when my purse was stolen visiting a family member in vancouver. It contained my phone, ID all my cash. And he literally got the ball rolling to help me get home to Ontario . He was able to make contact finally with my husband via his phone and computer.. family sent me a spare phone and ID for the Plane home. It was adventure to say the least. WIL IS A GENTLEMAN AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AS DESCRIBED...VERY COMFORTABLE AND HANDY TO EVERYTHING!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE THE BIG PORCH YOU HAVE OUT FRONT..SO HOMEY.. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES. to bad can't do 10 hearts and more.

I have just spent a very enjoyable week at Wil's home. His place is cozy, comfortable, welcoming and clean. I was greeted warmly and I felt right at home in the Guitar Loft with fresh BC air coming in through the skylight, and a very comfortable bed with fresh linens. The room is spacious and inviting and the bathroom across the hall with a skylight was just right. If there was anything I needed, it was easy to find, e.g. an extra blanket or towels or Wil would gladly assist when asked. I appreciated the tourist tips Wil gave me. The location was perfect with some highlights within walking distance as well as the SkyTrain and water taxis a short walk away. I couldn't ask for more.

We were sleeping in what we think was the host’s bedroom (there were no others) and in his bed.

While the sheets were clean the was a muskiness which was strong and made us very uncomfortable. The house in general and the kitchen in particular were messy; the host frequently left his items in the sink and on the counters. He had swept the kitchen floor before we arrived but left the dirt on the floor for our entire 7-day stay.

The handle in the shower came loose and we could not turn off the gushing water. We called him twice but he did not answer. I finally found a knife and screwdriver to tighten the handle (it was good that I knew what do do!). When he returned home and I told him about this he did not say “Sorry for the trouble” or “Thanks for taking care of it” ! He said only “Do you want me to take a look at it?” DUH !

He then told me the handle had broken twice before ! Um, fix the valve, dummy !

The handle broke the next day so we could no longer use the shower or tub.

Oh yeah: the bathroom rug was DIRTY. One of the 2 towels he provided was ripped.

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, the play was fine.
