Location and Accessibility
7487 Granville St is located in a residential part of southwest Vancouver, close to the boundary with Richmond and near the Vancouver International Airport. The property’s address (V6P 4Y4) falls within the Marpole neighbourhood of Vancouver city proper, though the city field in the dataset is Burnaby. This may indicate the property is near the border between Vancouver and Burnaby, but the physical location is in Vancouver. Proximity to the airport is noted by reviewers; one guest mentioned a $23 Uber ride to either arena for a concert. Public transit connections to downtown Vancouver and Burnaby are available via bus routes along Granville Street and nearby SkyTrain stations at Marine Drive or Bridgeport.
Simon Fraser University (SFU) is a major institution in Burnaby, with its main campus located on Burnaby Mountain. Depending on the exact location of 7487 Granville St, commuting to SFU could take 45–60 minutes by public transit (e.g., bus to SkyTrain to campus shuttle). The property is better positioned for residents who need access to Vancouver city centre, the airport, or south Vancouver amenities rather than proximity to SFU’s main campus.
Who This Residence Suits
This residence is a good fit for students, working professionals, or short-term visitors who value a clean, well-maintained living environment and a responsive host. The three Google reviews consistently mention cleanliness, modern bathrooms, and courteous management.
“Very clean, great host! Super organized. … Beds were comfy and the shower and bathroom were very clean and modern.” — Jody Latiff (Google review)
“Very nice guesthouse with beautiful rooms and high-quality bathroom. Very clean. Very friendly and courteous hosts. Close to the airport with very good Uber connections. I am happy to recommend the house.” — Henning Thiele (Google review)
The property suits people who need a reliable base near the airport or for short-term stays (minimum 3 months). It is also suitable for those who prefer a quiet, peaceful house environment:
“House is beautiful and peaceful. Has everything you need. … The guests here were all pleasant.” — Ellavester Xuanyi See (Google review)
Because the property offers both ensuite and non-ensuite rooms, it can accommodate different budgets and privacy preferences. The presence of Wi-Fi and workspace areas makes it practical for remote study or work.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
The property may not be ideal for those who require a very central location near Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus. The commute is moderate to long, and bus–SkyTrain transfers are necessary.
Also, light sleepers may want to consider the noise environment. One reviewer noted:
“I would bring earplugs if you sleep as light as I do, didn’t hear the planes but could hear traffic in the morning.” — Jody Latiff
This indicates traffic noise is present, though aircraft noise appears minimal. For those who need absolute quiet, the property might not be optimal.
Additionally, the minimum lease is three months, so it is not suitable for very short stays (e.g., a week or two) unless a student housing platform can arrange a different arrangement.
Finally, the price range (CAD $1,150–$2,500 per month) is significantly above the city’s lowest published student room price of CAD $500 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Budget-conscious students looking for the cheapest option in Burnaby would not find this property economical. However, the higher price reflects a private residence with modern amenities and a clean environment.
Price Positioning vs City From-Price
The dataset indicates that in the same city (Burnaby/Vancouver area), the lowest monthly price for a student room is CAD $500. The base price at 7487 Granville St is CAD $1,150 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is 2.3 times higher than the floor. This positions the property in the mid-to-upper price bracket. For comparison, a non-ensuite room (shared bathroom) is likely at the lower end of the range, while an ensuite or apartment may reach CAD $2,500. Given the reviews praising cleanliness and design, the extra cost may be justified for those who prioritise comfort and a hassle-free experience.
Room-Type Guidance
The property has three unit types:
- Non-ensuite room – Shared bathroom with one other room. As one reviewer explained: “Only 2 rooms are sharing a toilet. The last room is an ensuite.” This offers the most affordable entry point.
- Ensuite room – Private bathroom, likely at a higher price. Offers more privacy.
- Apartment – Self-contained unit with kitchen and bath. Best for those who want full independence.
When booking, check with the operator which exact room type matches your budget and needs. The shared bathroom setup appears to be well-organised and clean, based on reviews.
Booking Timing
The available date is August 1, 2026, which aligns with the start of the fall academic semester at Simon Fraser University (late August/early September). Given the property’s popularity (high Google rating) and limited number of units, it is advisable to begin inquiries several months in advance. Students aiming for an August move-in should start looking by early 2026. The minimum three-month lease means the property can also accommodate a fall term followed by a winter term extension, but verify with the operator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the property close to Simon Fraser University?
The property is located in southwestern Vancouver, not in Burnaby’s SFU neighbourhood. Commuting to SFU’s main campus on Burnaby Mountain typically requires a bus to a SkyTrain station (e.g., Marine Drive or Bridgeport), then a transfer to the SFU shuttle or bus. Travel time is approximately 45–60 minutes one way. It may be more convenient for students attending Vancouver-based institutions or those who drive.
What is included in the rent?
Rent includes Wi-Fi and use of laundry facilities, as per the property tags. The reviews do not mention additional utilities or parking, so confirm with the operator whether electricity, water, and heating are covered. The property description states “Workspace” is available, suggesting there are desks or study areas.
Can I move in before August 2026?
The provided available date is August 1, 2026. If you need an earlier move-in, contact the operator to check whether earlier dates are possible. The property may have flexible availability for room changes.
