what we liked best about the condo:

Our host made us feel very welcome and showed us his condo and how to access underground parking. He was helpful with suggestions in the area and how to get to the beach. This place to stay had the ideal location and was walking distance to many places. We also saw the fireworks a block away from his place!
He was readily available and called us/texted if we had any concerns. Chris also allowed us to keep a friends bike at the apartment and her to pick it up the day after we left, that was extremely kind of him and for that we are thankful.

Although there was construction going on the building we were staying, they were sure to stop before bedtime. There was also a loud/vibrating fan that would start approximately mid afternoon on the roof and would continue until approximately 11 pm. For us this wasn't too much of an issue as we were there to see Vancouver and for a friends wedding. It was a very hot week in Vancouver when we stayed and therefore, was really hot inside the condo. This was out of Chris's control as when it is hot out, all places are hot without air conditioning.

The area we felt was safe and we walked everywhere we went. The wedding was at the maritimers museum and it was a short 15 minute walk to hear. We loved that it was the time of year for ripened blackberries and this was near the beach, only a 10minute walk away.

There was many nice cafes and restaurants nearby, also trendy shops.
