This place was excellent, especially when compared to other Air BnB's I have stayed in Vancouver. The place is nice and clean and the in-suite washer & dryer is a great amenity.
Ishtar was also very accommodating. I was in Vancouver for a work project and my end date changed several times. Ishtar changed my reservation every time without hesitation.
The staff is super nice, especially Salvador who takes care of your every need.
The only "con" about the apartment is the street noise level. It is on the corner of two major streets so the noise from cars, trucks, and buses can get pretty loud. Also, it is across the street from a hospital so you can hear ambulance sirens throughout the day and sometimes at night. If the window is closed, it is not really a problem. But on a warm day, you may want to open theme windows and you will notice the noise.
But this is a ding on the location. Not the place or the staff.
I stayed here for about 6 months and would definitely stay here again if my work brings me back to Vancouver.
