The eco-loft apartment is well located in East Vancouver, an interesting area with quite a large Asian/Vietnamese community. Not the glitziest part of town, but we like that. The Save On supermarket is just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. There are a lot of different (authentic) ethnic restaurants around too: Vietnamese, Chinese, Chinese vegetarian, Indian, a couple of coffee places, bakery, and a local pub and bottle shop. There's also a local White Spot restaurant, as well as De Dutch restaurant, for when you want a traditional Anglo cooked breakfast. The bus stop is close as well.

The apartment itself is a modern-style loft, with mid-century modern furniture, heated concrete floors, and a lovely kitchen that offers all that a person might need to cook a full dinner meal.

Alison was very helpful and kind whenever I needed to contact her.

We did have a little issue with the hot water as it usually comes just lukewarm--not really ideal for the cold weather in Vancouver.

The eco-loft is very comfortable for a couple, as it is one large, spacious room with a high ceiling, and plenty of natural light. The skylight in the bathroom is a nice touch.

In general our experience was great, discovering different restaurants around the neighbourhood, and around the city too, as access to the bus system was very easy. Main Street, with all its restaurants, bars, and cafes, is especially easy to get to via bus.

We recommend this apartment to anyone.
