Michael was an excellent host. The sightseeing information he told us and provided in the suite was invaluable. The parking space was a big plus with a downtown stay. The small suite is perfect for a single or couple and was impeccably clean. We appreciated the ability to cook simple meals and the apartment is close to several markets. The washer/dryer made packing light easy. The suite's location was great if you plan to be active -- we walked to Gastown, Robson Square, and Harbour center in minutes and without any difficulty. Overall, this is a great place to stay and see the city--a comfortable apartment with nice amenities and a friendly, informative host.
