First and foremost, Sadiq's place is located in excellent neighborhood. Everything is a walk distance away, and even the most remote attractions of Vancouver (eg.: Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge, etc) are easily accessible, because there are several bus stops around, free shuttle to some attractions nearby, and also train stations such as Granville Station (Millennium and Expo line), Yaletown Round House Station (Canada line to/from YVR airport) and Chinatown Station.
Unfortunately, we didn't meet Sadiq, but he was always in contact with us, making sure everything was ok. His responses were immediate and the communication was really easy.
The appartment was really cozy and functional. The internet was good and there were nice features in the building such as a pool, a hot tub, a gym, sauna, etc... And we were allowed to use it all.
Most of the appartment was as advertised. Exception to be made for the bed that was placed in the balcony. Even though it was a good improvement for my friend, who was supposed to sleep on the couch, the balcony was enclosed by glass with no blinders on one side, making the room really bright and hot... Because of that she had a difficult time getting some sleep in the morning (after 6 am).
The main bedroom was also a little bright and hot in the mornings (mainly after 8 am) even with blinders installed. For me, personally, it was not a problem, on the other hand my wife had some trouble sleeping in.
To summarize, we recommend Sadiq's place to everyone and would certainly stay there again in another trip to Vancouver.
