Sarah is a 5-star hostess who offers a bright, airy pied-à-terre with fabulous views of snow-capped mountains, the city skyline, the bustling water & seaplane activities of Burrard Inlet, & the excitement of the Port of Vancouver. The condo is situated in the happening, hip industrial Strathcona Neighborhood that boasts several cafes, restaurants, brew pubs, and a couple of grocery stores that offer a variety of organic food options. It’s a quick ride to the urban core or a few minute drive to amazing hiking trails in and around Vancouver (about 15-20 minutes to Grouse Mountain or Lynn Canyon Park) and about an hour’s drive to Squamish which is where we spent time hiking. As the condo is in the heart of an industrial area there is a bit of port operation noise but the heavily insulated windows and doors reduced it significantly and we were able to sleep soundly. As it’s a bit bright at night we found that sleep masks were helpful. The kitchen is perfectly appointed with all the implements we needed to prepare meals, coffee, and tea. All in all we enjoyed a lovely stay in Vancouver and are departing with wonderful memories of our visit. We would love to return and we’d definitely consider staying in Sarah’s urban gem again!
