If you want a great comfortable location for a true Vancouver experience, Chris's place is perfect. Everything you need is in walking distance. Beach, shops, restaurants, and more. Or if your heading downtown it's a short drive, cheap and quick taxi, or easy transit options to get there. Having such huge windows looking out onto one of Vancouver iconic street is great to experience. Yes, it's a busy street which means noise. But this is Vancouver! We like to hear a city when we visit one. It's actually entertaining to just watch and listen to happenings going by.
We used to live in the Kits area and we're back in town for a wedding at the H.R Mac Milan Space Centre which is very close by. We were involved with helping with set up of the wedding and thus had to store some wedding items there (food, lights, propane tanks etc.), drive back and forth, bring back guests who needed last minute showers before ceremony etc. The location saved many problems for us. Especially with the secured underground parking stall! No need to waste time trying to find parking for each trip back and forth.
The space itself is very comfortable. The master bed is super soft and there is a plethora of squishy pillows. Comfy sofa and good layout. Second bedroom was also a good space. Our guests staying in that room had a 5 year old daughter. They took the cushions from little couch in the sunroom and just made a bed for her in the room with them. There was plenty of space. The kitchen is well equipped and there is lots of extra blankets and towels. The place does get warm in nice weather but seriously take that as a hint you should not be inside anymore and should be out there on that beach! There is fans you can turn on and the temperature drops in the evening. We had no problem sleeping. There is a restaurant fan that operates from 3 to 11 you can hear. It didn't really bother us. But, again those hours are prime time hours to be out exploring the city. If you plan to stay inside and sit in silence during your visit then don't stay here. Also, the parking is a tight space but again this is very normal for Vancouver. We drive a SUV and we're OK. Just be careful and use your mirrors!
Last but not least, Chris is a great host! We enjoyed our check in with him. Super nice and accommodating. He checks in via text throughout the stay and replies to your messages quickly. Thank you Chris for everything and especially for the beers/ciders! ;)
