This stylish and well-appointed studio is excellent for short and longer terms stays. While the flat is located outside of the downtown core, East Van is a vibrant and interesting neighborhood, with many interesting restaurants and breweries.
Patrick's blog provides guests with great local recommendations, and he is exceptionally responsive. We called from the cab at the airport, and he was at the flat to greet us by the time we arrived.
The kitchen is fully equipped and well-suited to eating in. There is a lovely rooftop terrace that guests can also access -- perfect for a glass of wine.
The bed is comfortable, and we were provided with ample linens.
Only caveat: As noted in the description, the studio is right on the railway line. The noise of cars coupling can be very loud at night; be prepared to close the windows.
