This apartment is prefect. We had to stay in Vancouver for a month for work, so we were a bit worried about what was out there for available apartments. Most were the typical corporate hotel room looking places, then we found Blakes apartment. The location is amazing, the setup of the flat is perfect for two working people. Being so close to Robson is amazing., not to mention the quick walk to Yaletown, and even Gastown.
As far as local amnesties, Nestors market is right across the street, as is a dry cleaners, a pedicure place, etc, etc....and a Starbucks. But why would you ever go to Starbucks when you can use the incredible Bosch build in Coffee machine in the apartment??
We used the second bedroom space for our "gym", as it includes a high end spin bike and plenty of room for yoga.
Cant wait to stay here again.
