This location is central to everything! We took cabs to downtown Vancouver for less then 20 Canadian dollars. We used the rental bike Mobi to visit Stanley park, it was easy and so much fun. We attended a class at UBC and our time was precious, yet because we were so central and transportation options were so good we were able to site see and study. The apartment had everything we needed and there is a grocery store within walking distance. On the evenings we didn't want to go far we walked to great restaurants.
