I stayed at Elise's place for a week. I was able to comfortably work remotely from the apartment thanks to a dining table/desk set up. I had some work in downtown which was an easy 15-20 minute walk, as were most happening neighborhoods and spots like Yaletown, West End, one of the beaches!
She was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. The full kitchen and walk-in closet were added bonuses. I would highly recommend staying at Elise's apartment.
