“I would recomend this yatch if you want a unique experience.”
+The location was great, closed to many ammenities. The yatch experience was unique. It's not like a regular airbnb so don't expect it to be. You are on a boat on the water.

“It would be a good stay if it was clean”
+It was new experience for us so interesting to stay in a boat over night. The guy who handover the boat and briefed us to facility was helpful.
−It was terribly dirty.. luckily we are staying in Vancouver and we went home to use washroom and take shower.. even garbage bin was full.. all the kitchenware, fridge, microwave and sheets were disgustingly dirty. One of the bedrooms carpet was wet and full night had a bad smell and make the cabin cold. One of the washroom facility which looks bigger was out of service..hygiene was severely compromised..

“Unacceptable. I would warn others about this booking.com”
+Unfortunately it was not at all as it was represented by the booking.com info and pictures.
−The area where the dock is located is in an unsafe area of Vancouver. Sadly we saw some quite disturbing sights in the vicinity of the dock area. The “security“ gate was broken into while we were there and we witnessed two people making several trips ferrying goods up the ramp. The owner was of no assistance and suggested that we should go and shout at the intruders. We had to call the police who attended. More importantly the boat itself was not able to be secured because the door lock was broken. When we pointed this out to the owner his “solution” was to store our valuables on the Sun bridge and gave us a flimsy bicycle lock to secure the hatch, not really acceptable unfortunately. The boat inside was not clean by any means. Stained upholstery, dirty galley, pots and pans stuffed into a cupboard. It was apparent the owner had not put much thought into what his guests might need for their stay. Very little cutlery but lots of chopsticks thrown in a drawer, the coffee maker was filthy and we did not use it, a few plastic plates stuffed in a cupboard and paper throwaway cups. The pots and pans thrown under the sink did not look very clean and we didn’t want to use them. We were giv

“Wonderful weekend away in a fabulous location!”
+We loved the location. The parking was a little far away which we weren't expecting, but once we got it figured out, it was a nice walk. The bed was super comfortable and the owner came and showed us everything we needed to know during our stay. We will definitely be keeping Gypsies Drifter in mind for future trips!
−There weren't any coffee cups, but we made do using the solo cups provided.
