My family stayed at Melanie's apartment while visiting my brother in Vancouver. The location was absolutely perfect - within walking distance to practically every main attraction. Since it's downtown and near St. Paul's hospital, there is some noise at night (sirens) but not more than any typical city. The seagulls sing you awake each morning too ;) The apartment itself is spacious, bright, clean and well stocked with supplies. The mattresses are a little hard but there are lots of pillows & blankets, and the laundry is very conveniently located on the same floor (and free!). A free parking spot nearby the apartment downtown is also very convenient. The wifi was very dependable - two of us were able to work from home using it while a 3rd streamed Netflix. The hosts were extremely responsive and ready to help if anything came up. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!
