I REALLY loved my time staying in the ‘beach apartment’ in Kitsilano. I was in Vancouver for several weeks to work on a book and a few
Other projects that required an inspiring workspace. The apartment is set up so that there is a sunroom with a well-appointed desk with a window that overlooks the tree-lined street. I could see the ocean and mountains from my desk, and hear the birds every morning, all which were lovely especially during a turbulent pandemic year.
The main living area is spacious with a comfy couch, and a balcony which is nice to use during good weather. The kitchen is well appointed, and though I needed a cutting board and some ceramic plates, Karen was quick to obtain these for me, in addition to other items like hand towels and coasters. The apartment is nice and warm during the winter as well, and a small space heater was helpful during the fall/Winter transition period for a few weeks. Any minor issues were quickly handled. The building itself is about 2 blocks from Kits beach, which is great for running or walking. It’s about a 20 minute walk to Granville island, 15 minute bus from downtown Vancouver, and a short 10 minute walk up the will to the main Kits strip of
West 4th, which means easy access to several grocery stores, cafes, yoga studios, etc. There is also coin laundry in the building which is easy to use.
I highly recommend staying at the beach apartment. Thanks Karen!
