We stayed for 4 nights at the end of a 5-week around-the-world trip, so were pretty exhausted on arrival and not at our most tolerant! We were grateful to Linda for allowing us to drop our bags off before the flat was ready for occupation.
It rained for the entire duration, so we did not see the location nor the environs of Vancouver at their best. However, the location is ideal for downtown, but without blinds for the floor-to-ceiling living room windows, we didn't like being overlooked by hundreds of apartments in surrounding high-rise buildings. This also made us feel a little on the cold side.
The kitchen has a good cooker and more than adequate fridge and dishwasher. We had looked forward to doing some home cooking after weeks of being waited on, but found the sparcity of decent pots/pans and crockery did not lend itself to this.
The decor and furnishing of the unit itself was rather bleak and minimalistic, and in need of some refreshment and repair, although it is quite liveable. There is reasonable broadband speed in the flat.
Free access to washing machine and dryer was a boon, but we would have liked somewhere to hang non-dryer clothes (other than over the shower rail in the bathroom, which was the only place to hang towels!).
The bed was very comfortable, but we were suspicious of the fact that the bedding was not ironed - we trust that it was clean and fresh. Storage for luggage is good, but there was little room to put things that we unpacked.
