The apartment is well located in the heart of the Commercial Street area with a huge variety of restaurants and other retail establishments. It's an easy 10 minute walk to the Skytrain so you can access all areas of Vancouver quite easily.
We had asked for early access to drop off our bags and Yann was accommodating, he responded very quickly to our inquires. Check in using the lock box was easy and convenient.
The apartment is on the second floor (of 3) above a couple of food establishments (Taco and a bakery) - the apartment was very clean and well equipped - we did not make extensive use of the kitchen but it had all the appliances, dishes and cooking items most people would need, the bedroom was small but the queen size bed was fine and the bathroom was fine, there were more than enough linens etc provided.
There was a good sized TV in the living room but it was generally of no real value as you needed to use your PC or other technology or accesses to use it. We weren't in Vancouver to watch TV so it didn't matter to us but basic cable would have been appreciated.
A few cautions to others looking at this property.
(1) the corner of Commercial and 1st is an extremely busy intersection, there is a significant amount of traffic noise 24/7. The bedroom is in the middle of the apartment so it is not a huge issue for sleeping but if someone is trying to sleep in the living room it would be very noisy.
(2) the Taco place downstairs is cooking from mid morning until late evening and the smells from there permeate the entire building, some might find it a bit overwhelming. We ran the air conditioner in the bedroom when we arrived back in the evenings and that helped a bit but there is no getting away from it, they operate a business below you and it will be a factor. It also tends to make the apartment warm, even if the outside temp is not (September in Vancouver while we were there was fairly cool).
Overall, we were reasonably pleased with our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to others (with the cautions listed above). Yann (and Alannah) are good hosts and clearly have responded to comments and suggestions made by others who stayed in their Airbnb, we did not encounter any of the concerns expressed in other reviews.
