Sophie and Pat's place is very nice. It was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is exactly what a visitor to Vancouver would want. Walking distance to many wonderful restaurants, breweries, grocery stores etc. It's a really safe neighborhood where one can walk at all hours and not worry about a thing. It's also great to have a designated parking space in a city that is not parking friendly for the most part. You really don't even need a car at this great location however.
Our one complaint was the bed. The mattress is fine but the bed frame sits literally on the floor and is pushed up against a wall. It makes it very hard for a second person to get into. You have to crawl up from the bottom or over the person who is not sleeping against the wall. Even for one person I think it's uncomfortable to have to get into a bed that sits on the floor.
The apartment itself is cozy and unfortunately we never had time to relax on what is a very nice balcony. I would definitely stay there again if the photos indicate that the bed situation has been changed. Thanks Sophie and Pat.
