The pictures of Marcel's condo REALLY do not do it justice: the place was beautiful, spotless, cute, and surprisingly quiet. Marcel was super fast with communication at all times. The condo has amazing natural light, and the balcony access from both the bedroom and living room was really nice. While the condo is located on busy Hastings Street, sitting outside on the balcony was extremely quiet and peaceful, with a great view of the mountains. The shower had good water pressure (which is important!), and it was so nice to have a washer and dryer included too. The decor was awesome, lots of quirky things and cool culinary items (they are definitely foodies!). The bed was very comfortable, and the big couch is great for lounging around and relaxing. A bus stop is located right outside the building, and there are several restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Marcel's place made my first trip to Vancouver amazing, and I'd definitely stay here again!
