Gunar's place is amazing. We were lucky to be visiting during Vancouver's Canada Day celebrations. As a result, we were able to watch the Parade (albeit from 35 floors up) as well as have a bird's eye view of the fireworks over the Harbour. Centrally located in the West End, the apartment is close to restaurants and grocery stores, as well as Robson Street and the West End nightlife. Further, the place is well within walking distance of Yaletown, Chinatown and Gastown.

Aside from all that, her place is sunny and open. Floor to ceiling windows make sure of that. Impeccably clean and tastefully furnished, definitely an amazing place to stay in Vancouver.

Gunar herself (and the property manager, Buket) were very friendly, offering assistance whenever we asked. Gunar has a book of logistics (nearby points of interest, garbage locations, etc.), which did come in handy (not to mention, she left some tourist brochures and other documents for our perusal; we returned the favor by leaving documents that we had picked up during our visit). Also, although we didn't take advatange of it, they also offer a home made Turkish dinner delivered to the apartment (both Gunar and Buket are of Turkish descent). If we ever go back, we are definitely taking advantage of that!
