This was a great place for me as I was having to quarantine for 2 weeks after returning from out of my place in Mexico and I really enjoyed my two week stay. Because I literally never left once, my review is limited to the space itself.
Spending a fair amount of time in front of the large new 55” TV, the lounge portion of the couch was very comfortable and offers a great, vast view out over false creek with the ever changing colours of the science world sphere. A really great spot to sit after dark. AppleTV with Netflix is included so made good use of that.
When the sun is out this apartment is really bright and the balcony allowed me to sit outside and get some sun. A comfortable outdoor space for two people.
The place overall is nice and clean, well maintained and has all the basics. Joshua is super responsive and really goes the extra mile to make your stay great. For example, I was missing a toaster and let the him know and he had one delivered within the hour. Awesome!
As disclosed in the ad, the Skytrain is right below and is noticeable, but much of the time just becomes background noise you easily get used to. It’s a bit louder in the bedroom as there is no balcony to muffle the noise, but ear plugs would definitely take care of the noise. I slept the two weeks without them. I was only woken up one night when they appeared to be doing track maintenance literally grinding the rails. Other than that night, it wasn’t an issue. The train doesn’t run between about 1:15 to about 4:45 or so, so those hours are very quiet.
This place is right around the corner from Costco, a movie theatre, and of course next to sky train. With 53 stops over at least 6 cities, you can zoom off anywhere you want to go easily.
I found the dining table a decent workspace for me.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to use any amenities due to quarantine.
For the price, and due to the full disclosure of the Skytrain noise in the ad, I have to say Joshua’s place was better than I expected and worked out really well for me.
