The location in downtown Vancouver was great, as it is a very walkable area and we could easily get around without a vehicle. It was very quiet, though seagulls in the area can make a racket at night when the windows are open. We enjoyed the big windows and skyline views, and that we could glimpse some mountains and part of Stanley Park. You can hear the 9-o-clock gun that goes off every night in Stanley Park, which was fun. Picking up keys around the corner was not too bad, but a little bit annoying with bags. We had some trouble with the TV as far as getting streaming services going. The host was communicative and tried to help, but it wasn't until a few days later that I found a help video in the settings that told us how to access. Hint: Use the voice button on the remote and say "netflix." Vancouver was a great city, especially all dressed up for spring.
