My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience here. We agreed that we would happily come back and book for much longer.

The apartment is not only clean and private, but Dan and Caroline also have lovely taste. The 6-headed rain shower after the Grouse Grind might have been the best part of my whole vacation :). They supplied a choice of fresh ground coffee and made us feel very welcome. Communication was easy and pleasant. We got the chance to meet Dan in person and had a nice chat. They also left us a list of recommendations. We tried a handful of them and enjoyed them all.

If you are someone who does not want to eat at a chain restaurant on vacation, this is your part of town. We combined our time in Vancouver between the West End and this Strathcona apartment and we were much happier here. It's easy to hop on a quick bus to Stanley Park, Granville, etc. but this area was walking distance to places with more authentic character like Chinatown, Commercial Drive, and Gastown.

Dan and Caroline left us a list of suggestions and we tried a bunch of them - Bao Bei, the gelato place with 200+ flavors, Mammie Taylors... A few blocks away, there's a little brewery (Off the Rail) that looked out on a thoroughfare of bicycles... Sorry, now I'm just reminiscing. Book and enjoy!
