Location, location, location and Sarah teamed with helpful responsive host made for great stay.
We were met by Sarah, the housekeeper who showed us how to use the key and enter the secure building. She made some good recommendations for local establishments. Very clean neat condo. Rob and Jackie were helpful when answering my numerous questions regarding parking, keys, and amenities. The bathroom and master bedroom are separated which was great as we has a third traveler with us and allowed for privacy unlike some efficiency hotels. Wifi was fast and easy to access. Kitchen was well appointed and full size fridge and stove was nice. Cereal and milk, toaster, and drip coffee too. Downtown location was convenient, busses were nearby and train station to airport were a few stops away. No Uber in Vancouver. As with any downtown area it's noisy on weekends as Granville Street is a lively night spot a block away. Master bedroom and balcony faces alley so you might get some noise from shopping cart folks. (Pay attention to parking signs especially on Friday and Saturday nights as your "car to go" will be "a car to gone" as the city will tow you away when they close the street for party people.) Window air conditioner in main living area and fan in master bedroom ... a little noisy and stuffy, respectively but not terrible. Two real beds -- a major plus. Good size TV with Roku, Netflix and NHL but we could get local air-antenna tv stations ... Towels, shampoos and blow dryer are provided for easier packing. The bathtub sides are sloped making tub a bit more narrow than we expected so watch your step as there is good water pressure. All in all a great experience. Tips: pay by phone parking app for meters and some lots, pick up rental car from airport and return downtown - Avis to see Horseshoe Bay and Squamish, buy $10 daily bus pass (ride all day but expires at midnight) skip $6 refillable compass card or keep for a souvenir, $2.85 for train back to airport from City Center station, nails at iNail Spa and salon cut blow out at Red Room with Brooke both very near condo, and wear good walking shoes for sightseeing. See Vancouver it's wonderful and people are fab.
