First the pros: Very comfortable apartment for 2, well appointed with a comfortable bed and new sofa. Located in an up and coming neighborhood walkable to restaurants, bakeries and coffee houses. (We especially enjoyed Purebread bakery and Zarak by Afghan Kitchen). On a quiet street with nearby public transit.
The cons: In warm/hot weather (perhaps more common in Vancouver than it once was) the apartment gets quite hot in the afternoon. There is no AC, and while a front window and sliding door open, there is no cross-ventilation. Fans are provided and help some. There are no screens, so flies come in when window and slider are opened. Would not stay there again in summer. Communication with the host was ok until we needed urgent communication at checkout and he was not available for several hours. Had he been available, problems with checkout could have been avoided.
