I'll definitely come here again! In fact, I wish I could live here 😊 Owais was exceedingly flexible and I was thankfully able to check in a both early and late. They were generous in this area and wanted to be sure they could help me out since the need was due to needing to work at beginning and end of my stay.
This is the city and there are going to be many elements of activity. The views are unequaled! The views of shipping containers and the inlet is VERY cool! There’s a view of Grouse Mountain and many areas across the inlet. I wish I had binoculars. The accommodations were VERY clean and to say spacious is an understatement. There were lots of towels and options for body washes, and products. I liked that I couldn't hear others stay up later than me and I stayed above the TV room. It was so relaxing sitting by fireplace in the living room while others watched TV in next room. The neighborhood is very quiet and we had 2 cars between 5 of us and there’d still be space if everyone drove. We parked on street in front of house and its low activity outside except for some vehicles driving through or people out walking dogs. I think that’s rare for being so close to downtown Vancouver. We took a Lyft downtown and it was close enough to make that better than having paid for parking near Gastown. Also, we ordered delivery more than once, which also was convenient due to the location.
My USA cell provider used to easily do coverage anywhere in Canada, but it’s useless now. When there was no indication of wifi password I couldn’t access my AirBNB account to reach the Owais. But as soon as I realized that I could use my work laptop as a hotspot, I could contact AirBNB and the Owais they provided the password immediately.
Also, it was nice knowing someone was living on grounds when staying part of time alone. There was windstorm in Vancouver while at the home. That place is sturdy! With all the windows you'd think you'd feel something, but nope. Many across the west lost power, but these lights did not even flicker in this neighborhood. Owais was 100% respectful and checked with me first, BEFORE cleaning a patio with huge clear glass patio doors next to the kitchen after the huge storm.
I am looking forward to returning and would like to check out the other 1BR property that he has d/t Vancouver. MUCH thanks! My family needed this ❤️ (thus the long writeup 😊)
