Chris was super helpful and accommodating when we arrived later than expected. He met us with the key, in person, and showed us around the apartment. His place was plenty spacious for a family of 4 on a city break. The location is very cool, plenty of great foodie / locavore restaurants and a fantastic ice cream store (all made on the premises) on 4th. Donuts and coffee to rival Seattle at 49th parallel coffee. Wonderful walking trail to iconic heated outdoor pool and along to Granville Market. Downtown walkable but also short bus/cab ride. Great neighborhood in all. The only downside to our stay was that because it was unseasonally hot (90 plus degrees) it meant the apartment was very hot also. The vent /fan from the restaurant downstairs amplified the heat. We love hot weather but are used to having AC in our home. Thanks Chris for making us feel welcome.
