Perfect stay in Kitsilano. The apartment is exactly as advertised, great location and has everything you need.
The public transit in Vancover is amazing, it was no problem at all going anywhere I needed to, one bus ride to downtown Vancouver. It´s so much nicer to stay in Kitsilano and go to the touristy places for the day. The neighborhood felt safe, the building is quiet, beautiful greenry and the beach is close, make sure to go there to watch the sunset.
Also so many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Wholefoods and Safeway are nearby, you can get your groceries there, Safeway is like the Metro in Ontario.
If you are new to Vancouver I recommend doing a bike tour :)
