A very stylish and extremely well appointed spacious apartment. A little decking area out back allows for some peaceful space after a long day's sightseeing. A lot of design touches make this a very special place to stay. Granville Island, Gastown and Stanley Park can be reached with some energetic walking or by public transport.
Strathcona itself is a very interesting neighbourhood with a lot of history. As with all inner city areas well loved and cared for neighbourhoods are living cheeck by jowl with less solubrious areas. Unlike other cities, Vancouver is very open about its problems and does not hide them.
