Location, location, location - doesn’t get better than here. You’re right where all the action is, which makes everything very walkable or bike-able.
The unit clearly has some mileage on it, but overall, it was cozy and got us through a very hot week. Definitely read Nikolaus’ review below if you’re staying in the summer too - he was spot on, which helped us prepare.
Some advice: (1) plan to be out of the unit for the day - it gets really hot and the portable air conditioners are not only loud, but they don’t really cool the unit down. (2) There’s lots of city noise throughout the night so if that bothers you, bring earplugs (the AC units provide great white noise). (3) Bathroom amenities were, I assume, leftovers from others but don’t worry, plenty of pharmacies and Sephora nearby. (4) Laundry was great, but you’re sharing one machine with the entire floor so plan to do laundry later at night or earlier in the morning.
Thu Thanh responded very quickly and showed genuine care when we messaged her. Check-in was a breeze and the unit is very accessible from the airport via mass transit. The parking spot on site was super handy for day trips to Whistler and the beach.
It’s hot so bring plenty of shorts - even at the top of Whistler, you’ll be fine with just shorts and a t-shirt. And enjoy walking around the city. Everyone in Vancouver was super friendly, and it felt safe at night.
