The apartment itself and the location could not have been better! The apartment is completely updated and very modern. Love the European-style tilt and turn windows! We also appreciated the oscillating fan in the bedroom - just like home. Commercial Drive is just steps away and has every kind of restaurant, market and beverage you could want. The light rail into downtown is super convenient. Just one caveat if you have a car. - be super mindful of the parking restrictions and don't park too close to the intersection! Our car was ticketed and towed one night. Robert was nice enough to drive us to the impound lot the same night, so that situation was resolved quickly. Regardless, I have to highly recommend this place!
