i stayed here for four months over the summer into the fall. i go to vancouver for work and have stayed in several places over the past few years. this was the best place i've stayed in the city, hands down. things i like: the street is quiet and pretty. it's conveniently located, with a grocery and park on the corner, and rows of restaurants just down the street. the apartment itself feels spacious. the living area is typically small, but the outdoor courtyard and the king-size loft upstairs are untypically large for city apartments. there's a family of hummingbirds living in the courtyard. when i sat out there, they would hover three feet from my face and stare at me. i loved that. the floor-to-ceiling windows give the apartment an airy feel. the furnishings are stylish and comfortable. i didn't get hot in the summer or cold in late fall. sarah was great, always responsive but never in my way. you won't be disappointed with this apartment :)
