My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend in Vancouver and we had a great time. It's a 30 minute walk from Downtown Vancouver, and there are also plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants 10-15 minutes from the studio. Buses also run regurarly nearby. The studio itself was a fun place to stay, with a lot of art on the walls. Thyrza would also answer our questions swiftly and was very friendly and helpful.
