The apartment is exactly as represented in the pictures - a well done conversion which gives it the character I was looking for. The bed was comfortable, the shower plenty hot and there is room to stretch out on the couch at the end of the day. Just a note, there is a freestanding rack with hangers in the bedroom but no other closet space. It worked for me, but it depends on how many clothes you bring. This was my first trip to Vancouver and the apartment was a great central location for exploring. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as a solo traveler, but I felt very safe. My only regret - that I didn’t visit Granville Island market on the first day of my visit and cook in that fabulous kitchen. However, there are great restaurants close by - don’t miss L’Abattoir and Chambar.
