Derek was bang on time to meet us outside the building, helped us with luggage and showed us around the apartment - all extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment is superb - very spacious, tastefully and comfortably furnished, excellently equipped and exactly as described. Very nice to have such a generous supply of snacks, drinks etc.. The apartment is extremely well-located in the very lively and likable Gastown, thus within easy reach of Stanley Park, Vancouver Art Gallery, and high quality restaurants. A truly great airbnb.
