We had excellent communication with our host Sandy prior to and during our stay in her 8th floor Vancouver condo. She was very helpful at all times and made sure that everything was arranged according to our needs. The condo was just beautiful, modern, full of light and in a fabulous neighborhood. We were able to walk to a grocery store and restaurants and everything else in Vancouver was just a few minutes away by car. Best of all was the proximity to the park right across the street and the walking/biking trail along False Creek - in addition to using the building gym, we started running regularly just because the area was so inviting! We didn't use the deck for meals because it tended to be quite windy, but we loved the beautiful sunset views from the panoramic windows. A few things didn't work quite as expected when we arrived - the toilet wouldn't flush (we figured out quickly that the water had been turned off, so problem easily solved), the coffee table was broken and couldn't be used throughout our stay (Sandy had asked maintenance to get it fixed prior to our arrival but they had failed to do so), and the previous renters had forgotten to return the second set of keys as well as the visitor parking pass (Sandy offered repeatedly to deposit a spare set of keys for us to pick up at a keycafe, but we declined). Thankfully Sandy was very quick to respond to all of our questions so we consider these temporary hiccups rather than general problems with the condo. The beds were a little on the smallish side but very comfortable and there was plenty of closet space plus a very convenient washer/dryer unit. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes and appliances, the only thing we would have appreciated was if it had been a little better stocked in terms of kitchen basics such as spices, cooking oil and the like - there really was just salt and pepper and we had to buy everything else for the four meals we prepared there. The building is very environmentally friendly and also high-security, which is great generally but can get to the point to over-sensitivity sometimes - we accidentally set off the fire alarm not one, but two times just by toasting a bagel! Overall, compared to other places we have stayed at there is still a little room for improvement, but we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and would definitely recommend it.
