Wow, we had the best time during our month-long stay in this unit. Talk about an amazing spot - I can't recommend this one enough. Here's what we loved:
1) Location, location, location. You're one block from the beach, one block from Stanley Park, surrounded by coffee shops and restaurants.
2) Secure and comfortable. The building is completely safe and secure. We loved having a parking space, and coming and going from the unit was a breeze.
3) Feels like a home, not just a place to stay. If you like your Airbnbs to have character, this one is for you. It has this kinda 'sun-room office' with its own door, so 2 of us worked remotely here for a month with no problem. The kitchen is beautiful and was fun to cook in. There are plants, tons of natural light, and even an electric piano.
4) Host is fantastic. Super responsive, helped us out several times. Great recommendations & local tips. Helped when I needed a slightly later check-out time too.
If you want to visit Vancouver and stay in the heart of one of the most fun parts of the city, just book this unit. The only thing to know is that, because the location is so great, earplugs are helpful on weekend nights. There was 1 out of 30 days when the bar across the street had an especially loud party until midnight [on a Friday], but then it was quiet afterwards and we slept great the whole month.
