We felt very confident, arriving in a new neighborhood, that everything was as it should be. So easy to get to using the skytrain! Easy entry, and great first impression; a gorgeous condo! The immediate area is beautiful, with many, and ethnically varied restaurants, grocery stores, banks, gyms....a neighborhood that offers everything you could ever need. And yes, we used the Steve Nash gym around the corner: they gave us a super deal for the week. We enjoyed a lovely walk to False Creek and then along the trail to BC Place. This area is terrific for runners and bikers, as there are bike lanes everywhere. No need to worry about traffic noise; other than rush hour, the area was relatively calm and quiet for downtown. The abundance of trees probably helps with that, as well as the beautiful public park across the street. Directly across from the Vancity Theater, for those interested in VIFF, and within a 5 minute cab ride of all other VIFF venues used this year (2016). The kitchen was well appointed, and we used it to prepare a few meals on evenings when we were too tired to go out. Finally, our host, Bill, was very accommodating, and responded quickly to our needs. What an excellent value! We had such a memorable stay in Vancouver!
