My girlfriend and I were traveling to Vancouver for the first time. We didn't exactly know our way around but the apartment was fairly easy to find. It's pretty much right in the heart of downtown. We did have a small issue (most mine) checking in but it was quickly resolved by the host. Upon getting to the apartment building there was some kind of construction in the hallways that we were unaware of... not a big deal but it's good to know ahead of time.
As for the apartment it looked pretty much like the pictures... plus a couple of AC units to keep the apartment cool. During the day the bedroom was very warm. We actually slept with the AC on during the evenings. With the location of the apartment being so close to Granville (party central) it was a little loud at night and early mornings (trash trucks).
As for the apartment itself. The apartment was fairly clean but could have been a little cleaner (for our preference). It was essentially how it was described. The best part of the apartment is the location. I would recommend to bro's who are looking to party on Granville. Probably not the best for families (with young children).
