Alya's place is in a great location. Note that there are no blinds in the property and this may be an issue in the summer months. The condo is a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting (quiet building) or are looking to temporarily stay somewhere if you are relocating to Vancouver more permanently. Alya is a fantastic communicator, and she was very accommodating of me by providing an early check in when arrived. In sum, if you want a host who is well organized and flexible and if you desire to live in the heart of the downtown core close to public transport and excellent amenities; stay with Alya, you won't be disappointed!
