We had a great time exploring Vancouver from Sam's apartment. The location was right in the middle of all the Main St. action which is just what we were looking for. My 3 year old son had a blast riding the elevator and watching the big busses, trucks, taxis and ambulances zooming by. The apartment was very comfortable and the view of the city from the roof top deck was amazing. We didn't meet Sam but he was very helpful never the less, giving us personalized recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the neighbourhood. Thanks Sam!
