Great condo, location, and views! Condo is very Central to everything.. probably a 10-20min ride tops to everywhere in the city. Proximity is very close to Chinatown and Gastown and right across from the Canucks hockey stadium and caps stadium! The condo itself was very nice I really loved the views of a nearby garden, soccer field, Science World and water. My boyfriend kept saying the place had a odor kind of like sweat and cologne (I wasnt bothered). I'm not sure what everyone meant by goodies left by the host but I didn't see anything like that (no biggie) also didn't see any hand towels...bring those. There is a train station (sky train/subway) nearby...I didn't hear much noise.. probably too tired to care. Didn't see any earbuds on the nightstand either...bring if u need. Bed was nice, but I found the comforter to be a little small.. felt like I had to keep tugging from my partner haha. There is no central heating so be aware of that.... baseboard heaters do provide heat, it just takes little longer to warm. Starbucks, Tim Hortons, rexell drug store, and subway are all within walking distance. I felt safe in the area...a few bums but what city doesn't have them. Secured parking was a bonus. Check in/out process was easy and the directions were clear. Overall, I would recommend the place and I would stay again.
