Sasha is an excellent host. He responds to most questions in minutes rather than hours and has been extremely helpful in all respects. The apartment is as described and has an eclectic ambiance. Typically for many Vancouver apartments, there is no air conditioning which makes it a bit hot when it is sunny and warm outside but due to the east facing orientation, there is no afternoon hothouse effect. There is a large dyson fan that helps mitigate the heat. The kitchen is well equipped and the dishwasher and in suite washer and drier are excellent additions.
