Objectively, by all criteria & measures, the place was great, dandy, fine.
Compared to the photos in the listing & our expectations going in... it was a bit of a let down.
The good:
The location was spot on. Literally right next door to a subway station, a T&T, Rexall, Costco, a mall, pho, coffee, food, made the stay very convenient. Close to downtown, gastown, lots of stuff to do. Overnight paid parking underground, very convenient. Can get a little bit sketchy though, (esp. at night) with the homeless and occasional crazy person yelling down the street, but only if you're still outside. Inside the unit, you won't notice a thing.
The view was great. 17th floor view of downtown, even creekside & the science world dome on the balcony.
The bad:
Compared to the photos on the listing, the place itself was kind of a let down. The floors and walls were definitely a bit worn down, to the point where it sometimes felt more like an apartment than a condo. Bed looked a bit worse than in the listing when we checked in, washroom was a bit worse.
Blanket, pillows, sheets, towels smelled musky when we got there. We ended up washing them again ourselves & refitting the sheets back on.
The knob to set the timer on the dryer was gone, instead you have a pair of pliers to turn the screw manually to set the time.
Instead of a curtain, the bathtub/shower had one glass pane. Not 2 - to cover the entire thing, just one, meaning half the shower would be exposed no matter where you place the pane.
Oh, and there's no bathtub faucet. It must've been ripped off the wall or something, because there was just a hole, with a pipe in the middle, that water poured out of when you turned the thing on. Yeah, really fancy stuff, mwah. Shower & shower head were still fine though.
Overall:
Overall, the location was great - very close to everything & convenient. The place itself was a bit of a let down, though maybe our expectations were just too high in the first place.
