With rent continuing to increase around the Metro Vancouver area, cheap options are few and far between, especially in the downtown core.
If privacy isn't that important, then this $850 space that's shown up on Facebook Marketplace might be an option.
The ad notes it's "not a room" but instead a tenant would be renting the sofa bed in the living room. Photos show an apartment living room with a simple foldable futon situation; no privacy screens are set up in the photos or mentioned in the ad.
The living room also opens onto the kitchen.
The building itself is a tower near BC Place, with Costco nearby, and has amenities like a pool and sauna, the ad notes.
