The location is perfect if you want to see the real Vancouver. The apartment is just 25 mins walk to main street that is filled with great restaurants including a good selection of vegetarian and vegan places and lots of great places to drink too with loads of craft breweries. It certainly feels more local than big city and has a really great atmosphere. If you do want to head downtown and do the tourist stuff then it is well connected by public transport.
The apartment itself is home from home. Nicely decorated, clean and cosy with a great kitchen and laundry facilities. We were out from morning to night so didn't need to cook and at night we fell straight into bed so did not miss the TV at all.
Paula was great at communication and really helpful. Everything went smoothly.
We will definitely stay again!
