We had an excellent stay. The apartment is exactly as described; downtown commercial location with walking distance to museums, around the corner from the IGA supermarket, and down the street from public transportation. Inside, the kitchen is more than adequate for basic cooking, the apartment itself is quiet for an urban location, and the internet is reliable and fast. The bed is extremely comfortable. As noted in the listing, the bedroom shades are not ‘black out’ so if ambient light bothers you during the summer, bring eye-shades. Lili, our host, is a Superhost and you see why: fast and easy communication, very accommodating and she provided excellent suggestions on places to eat and things to do. When we had trouble with the laundry room key, she came right over to show us an alternative entrance. (The laundry is free, easy to use and on the same floor as the apartment.) You can leave your car parked out front for 30 min while you drop your luggage off, but after that you have to find paid parking elsewhere.
Tip: Cycle City, on Hornby opposite the Bill Reid Gallery, is about 3 blocks down towards the waterfront. They will rent bikes for a reasonable price. You can easily cycle from there, along the waterfront and around Stanley park in 2 hrs. - or keep going all the way around False Bay to Granville Island and over the Burrard Street bridge like we did. The highlight of our time in Vancoiver!
