Overall great stay and would recommend.
Host: Rafa is a considerate host: quick to respond and leaving all necessities (umbrellas, extra TP, paper towels, etc). Good for family stay (pack n play, high chair).
Location: convenient. Coming from the Bay Area, it feels like a cleaner SOMA. There are blocks that are unpleasant but nothing to worry about. Central if you want to go north (Stanley park) or south (Richmond). Walkability pretty good. Next to the casino, Costco, Chinatown subway station and Rogers Arena.
Apartment: The place itself works well. 3 bedrooms but 1 bedroom (bunk beds) is small; pretty much a big closet. The living room/dining room area is a bit cramped for ppl to hang out as the couch is fairly small.
The only “complaint” is around the building rules which are quite tedious (ie check in process, parking rules, quiet hrs).
