Thanks for the feedback @Karen3042 .
Wood floors all day vs carpets in my opinion as well, I am trying to choose decorations, details, and materials that are not time-consuming when it comes to the cleaning aspect. For example, all paint is "easy-to-clean", wood floors are not real wood but laminate and waterproof (easier to clean and spillproof), countertop is also made of a material that is easy to clean, stainless steel for other things, etc.
As per the pictures, yes, I agree, they are dark, I am trying to find a balance between light- cozy, I do not want to make it look like it is super illuminated and open because it really is not. But I guess that's open to debate.
The fire, the fireplace is gas, no need for wood, and controlled by a thermostat. Should I clarify? Maybe at the thumbnail of the picture.
Regarding your listing, here we go... I am new so my critique is not coming from an expert host 😉
UBC in your listing title. I had no idea what UBC meant until you told me, but at the same time, I assume that if my interest in staying in Vancouver is the UBC then I will find your listing easier I guess.
I see that you mention a TV with Chromecast, have you had any issues with people trying to cast from an iPhone? I was about to do the same but I am aware that Chromecast won't work with iPhone unless you download a different app.
I like the details on the pictures, and I loved how you arranged them in sections, like bathroom and all bathroom pictures are there, I did not know you could do that, I'll investigate, although my listing is very small and probably won't make sense to do it?
About the patio, I'd suggest more pictures or at least one where you can see what people would be looking at if they sat on those blue chairs.
With a full kitchen and Airbnb's enhanced cleaning process, every time I wash all the dishes and pots and everything even if they were not used at all, I always wonder how difficult it is when you have a full kitchen, I see you have a 100 CAD cleaning fee, in my opinion quite expensive, but I could be wrong.
