my cousin and I went to vancouver for the first time and stayed at karl’s space. the location is fantastic; 10min walk from city centre station if you’re coming from the airport, 7min walk to water front, <5min to robson st where many shopping and restaurants are located, and 25min from chinatown if you’re up for it (mostly flat), but <10min from burrard station which is <5min walk away. areas outside of downtown were ~30min train ride which goes by a lot faster than you’d expect. there’s a starbucks across the street and breka 5min walk away which is a 24hr cafe with pretty yummy coffee and baked goods. the place itself is stocked with amenities- dishes, basic cooking supplies like seasonings and oil; detergent pods and dryer sheets for the washing machine + dryer; roku television, and more! also gym and sauna in the complex which we didn’t have time to check out. the check in instructions are pretty thorough and any of my questions were addressed very quickly. my fave part of the space is the eating area which looks lovely in the day and night; i found myself getting ready and winding down in that space also. would def recommend for anyone visiting downtown vancouver :-)
