We are a family of 3 from India who stayed at Anne's place for a month. She greeted us warmly on arrival and is a very pleasant person to talk to. The house is perfect in terms of location and comfort. It is minutes away from Canada and Expo Line Sky train services and getting around to all places of interest in and around Vancouver was a breeze. We walked down to Stanley Park, Canada Place, Gas town, Yale town all of which make up a great neighborhood. The condo itself is on the most sought after shopping street in Vancouver so you will find all the high end shops right outside the building. The street behind the building is littered with mid level shopping brands hence there is something for everyone. Looking out of the window you get to see the downtown skyline, a view which we couldn't get enough of. Far out you could see the bay as well.
There is a decent gym and a pool in the building. Our 8 yr old daughter enjoyed the pool a lot. The condo has it's own parking in the basement.
Amenities wise, it was stocked up adequately and we had all items of daily needs like basic groceries and good quality toiletries. There is a grocery store steps away and there is Walmart 15 mins train ride away.
One point to be noted is that downtown is noisy and bustling with tourists and you will see cars moving and people walking down the roads all day, late into nights, early mornings. Once the windows are shut, you don't hear a thing but we stayed there in june and would keep the windows open at night and loved the night time sights and sounds as well. The condo is equipped with portable ACs as well but most days were pleasant and we didn't really use them much.
We highly recommend Anne's place, would definitely stay here again.
