Clean and bright basement apartment. Decor is basic and plain but we don’t choose places to stay based on style or flair. It was small but has everything you need as a home base. Perfect for our two adults, toddler and newborn. We like to be gone most of the day exploring and home for dinner and naps some of the time.
I would have liked curtains to make it a little darker for kids naps and the morning, but we survived.
No dishwasher or washer and dryer so plan on washing dishes and bringing extra clothes which we did.
Great location! Tips: You can bring your food and eat on the city hall patio and see downtown Vancouver and the mountains or venture through the little community garden on the city hall lawn too. We did both.
Another tip: walk to Safeway or Whole Foods for grocery items as the closer Jodi’s no frills place doesn’t take visa or international debit cards. We found that out as we checked out which was a bummer.
The host checked in on us which was nice and the apartment has tea and coffee for your stay. A few pantry items are there too which was nice and we used the reusable shopping bags for our trip as well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it’s a way better value than a hotel as we cook most of our meals in, as venturing to restaurants with two little kids is tough right now.
