Quite an experience
Cool old house. Amazing roof top deck.
Wasn’t clean. Kitchen is common and they seem to try to trick you with this. Queen is 2 doubles pushed together.

I enjoyed staying at Balfour House, with just a few things missing.
Great location, nice old home, & quiet area. Good sized room & comfortable bed. Bathrooms were clean.
Too bad there is no breakfast offered, I would be fine with a higher rate if it was. There was a towel in the room, but there should also have been a face cloth & a glass for when brushing your teeth provided - these are standard items, which usually are supplied at every hotel & B&B.

The building looks cool but we didn't get to stay there.
The location of the house was pretty central and close to a street with nice restaurants, shops, and Queen Elizabeth park. The house itself also looked interesting and historical, and was situated in a quiet neighbourhood.
Unfortunately my partner and I did not get to stay there, as when we arrived to check in there was no staff at the house and our room wasn't cleaned from the previous guests. I tried calling the main number, the cleaner's number, and emailing the property right away, but there was no response. They did eventually get back to us the next day and were apologetic, but by then my partner and I had had to make emergency alternative accommodation arrangements. At least they refunded my money promptly!

Bad smell, dirty, toilet was shaking
The location was good to get into any part of Vancouver and it is a nice safe wealthy neighborhood.
It was old building with bad old smell inside. I had to open a window in order to get all bad old air out. On the top of that the toilet was separated from the bathroom and it didn't have any toilet paper. Someone smoked on the property, someone took my food away. To sum it up: not really cleaned bed sheets, little towels, horrible old smell (building 123 years old), rodents outside and much more.

Disappointing
Very funky smell in the room that never went away, especially in the closet. It wasn't possible to open the windows so you couldn't air it out. Kitchen was very dirty, didn't seem like anyone ever cleaned it. Some food we left there was stolen. Never saw a single housekeeping staff during our whole 1.5 week stay, garbage cans in the room were never even emptied. Does anyone even actually work here? Other residents kept leaving the main door unlocked and leaving other doors open all night, in spite of signs warning that rodents would come in. The staff should really drop by occasionally to keep an eye on things and make sure people are following the rules.

Comfortable place that feels like home
I like my room, I found it very cozy, felt like home to me. My room had a fridge that was in working order. I wasn't far from the bathroom which I very much appreciate. The room was quite large had a nice queen bed that was comfortable and kitchen sink. Large closet space you could easy fit all your luggage in. Neighbors were very respectable and kind. The room temperature was always perfect to my liking.
The stove in the room doesn't work. The kitchen was plied with dishes the whole time I was there. The garbage never was taken out either. I'm not sure if there was even a house keeper. The bathroom on the 2nd floor has a broken window as well as a lamp was broken. Do to these I did find the price to be bit high when there doesn't seem to be any upkeep.

Against all odds we sleep very well and enjoyed our stay.
We liked its location, we walked to downtown. The bathroom was renovated and clean. We love the terrace and house surroundings. Friendly staff.
It is and old house and needs a lot of repairs. The room carpet was stained and dirty especially under the bed. Lack of cleaning in the house kitchen due to other guests.

Exceptional
This is a great house with history. If you looking for something unusual, not like all modern apartments, it will be a good choice. The house is located in a convenient location in very green and beautiful area.
