Bert was a fantastic host. He was hospitable, communicative, and addressed any questions that I had throughout my stay. He happily greeted me upon my arrival and gave me a walkthrough of the apartment all while being incredibly welcoming and kind.
The unit itself was impressively clean. It was exactly as advertised: Cozy, comfortable, newly renovated, and a perfect home-base to have while exploring the city. The Grandview-woodland area of East Van is a beautiful area to stay in as well. It’s green, lush, charming, and close to downtown (10 min drive). It’s an added benefit that it’s also a few minutes walk from Commercial Drive, which has a ton of bars and restaurants accessible. Just a good vibe all around being in the area.
The private parking spot was also greatly appreciated since I didn’t have to worry about finding street parking as I came and went.
I definitely recommend this unit if you are traveling solo or as a duo.
