The best thing about this condo is the location: right next to the Stadium/Chinatown Skytrain station. And it's about a 20-minute walk to the Convention Centre. There are nice views of an interior harbour (False Creek?). The kitchen is pretty functional, with a large fridge and working stove and dishwasher. The bathrooms are clean and mostly well appointed.
I reserved this unit because of the 3 bedrooms since I was travelling with 2 companions, but the 3rd "bedroom" looks to be a walk-in closet converted to a bedroom: there is no window.
I rated "Communication" as low for a couple of reasons. First, I had been asking for months if we could have an early check in because some of us were arriving at 10 am but check-in is not until 5:00pm. She could have told us even the day before that the condo was booked until the morning of our arrival, then we would have known not to hang around waiting to know if we could get in early. In the end, it was very near 5:00pm when we got the word that we could get in, and got the check-in information. So, many hours lost that we could have used for exploring.
Second, getting into the building is complicated, and we only got the information at very near 5pm. There is virtual fob, and you have to hold your phone to the console outside, then use it on the elevator or else it won't stop at your floor... really annoying not to have gotten the little explanatory video days in advance so that we could know what you have to do to get in when you get there, all loaded down with luggage.
Third, we arrived on a Saturday and already Sunday the toilet in the master bedroom got totally blocked. I notified the hosts immediately but it wasn't until Tuesday that someone came to take care of it. True, we had another toilet in the condo, but having a poop-filled toilet sitting there for a few days is not ideal.
Next, the air conditioning was not up to the task. We were there late August and it was hot and humid. There was one portable air conditioner in the living area that did not help the bedrooms much, especially not the bedroom with no window. The bedrooms had fans, but they just were not very effective.
Also, although the description said there would be coffee available, there was none in the apartment, and only a Nespresso maker, no drip maker as backup. I contacted the hosts immediately and, to their credit, they did have some delivered the evening of our arrival.
The master bathroom has a beautiful bathtub... with no way to block the water so that it will fill up. There is a telephone shower alongside the tub, but it is so low as to be useless for taking a "shower". I had to use the shower in the other bathroom which is already shared by people in the other two bedrooms. In other words, the beautiful bathtub is pretty useless.
Overall, the place is fine, but it could really use a good, overall cleaning and, especially, repainting. I found it expensive for what it is.
