Marissa's place was ideal for us!
It's in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of a great grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Even the Vancouver Art Gallery is in walking distance!
Marissa was responsive and in communication during our entire stay. She was extremely helpful, graciously assisting us with concerns along the way. We had an experience of having a partner who was committed our having a wonderful stay. She even purchased and delivered a blender so I (and future renters) can make smoothies, etc.
The space was very workable, with a nice little kitchen, breakfast nook and living/dining area. The mattress is firm memory foam. What a pleasure to sleep on a good, supportive mattress away from home!
It was a big advantage to have a parking space in the garage, especially since we happened to be in Vancouver during an extremely rare bout of snow and ice!
We took advantage of the stacking washer and dryer more than once. We laundered our dirty clothes before packing to come home. It was delightful to unpack all clean clothes!
The apartment is all windows along one side, which we enjoyed, although it's in a high rise building surrounded by other high rise buildings. Don't expect a spectacular view, although there are plenty to be had once you go outside, The water and mountains are close and visible from the street.
We spent a lot of time in the condo because of the weather and road conditions -- we were very fortunate to have accommodations that were comfortable and where we could prepare our own meals.
We plan to visit Vancouver again and again and would love to stay in Marissa's condo when we do.
Many thanks go to Marissa!
