We had a great time at this lovely apartment. The place is a good size, certainly for the two of us, and it is well equipped and comfortable. Easy walking distance to Chinatown and Gastown and imo these are much more interesting neighborhoods than Yaletown or Coal Harbour, even if the situation around Hastings is indeed pretty grim. Caroline was an excellent host and very prompt in responding to any queries. This is an ideal spot for exploring Vancouver and I would be delighted to stay here again.
