We are avid walkers and this location was great for our short trip - from the LRT station it was an easy 15 mins walk (quiet residential street walk or busy main street) to the apartment. Broadway buses (1 block away) are frequent and take you to many cool neighbourhood streets in the city. If you big on walking, like us, you can reach, downtown, granville island, kitsliano area, etc, all by walking.
the unit itself is nice and fairly spacious (esp. compared to condo sizes in vancouver, i imagine), and although only a block away from Broadway it's really quite residential and not noisy.
The host Michael is super responsive and helpful. we will definitely consider staying here again!
