The apartment is a great choice for someone new to the city who wants to be centrally located among all the stores, landmarks and transit options. The apartment is perfect for 2 people for short stays, however, we stayed here for a month and did find it a little cramped after a few weeks. This is our totally our fault though, as Brenda did make us aware of the size of the suite and we reserved it anyway.
We found Brenda to be a fantastic host, who was very accommodating with our ever changing check-in time and made sure we were properly looked-after during our stay. We had a few small issues with appliances not working and lights flickering, but Brenda was very responsive to messages and was more than helpful!
The two windows in the suite open just enough for a small breeze to come through, but it can be quite hot during the summer months. Brenda did have one fan in the suite which helped, and the supplied Netflix was a great addition.
There can be some noise from Granville Street on weekends but it not too much of a concern, and there are a number of sirens throughout the day and night - but if you’re out and about it’s nothing to be worried about. Closing the windows cut down the noise considerably. On a few occasions, one of the two elevators in the building were not in operation and so traveling from the lobby to the 17th floor became a long wait during busy periods, however, this was out of everyone’s control.
All in all, I would stay at Brenda’s again, no hesitation. She is a fantastic host with a centrally located property that has all the amenities that you need.
