Selma & Ares accommodated an early check in for us which was very much appreciated.
The location is incredibly central to everything downtown and within easy walking distance to Robson St (shopping), Granville St (bars, cafes & restaurants) not to mention trendy Gastown and Yaletown.
This is the first place we’ve ever stayed in that did not supply the very basics of tea, coffee, milk and sugar ??? The kettle doesn’t have an auto switch off button so just continues to boil. You need to watch out for this.
There were the previous guests leftovers in the fridge (opened bottles of wines).
The light in kitchen was barely just a light so needs replacing/upgrading.
We feel the apartment in general needs a little renovation as cupboards were rotting in areas it was a little dull.
One towel and one face washer per guest was provided (perfect) however a hand towel was not. Shampoo and conditioner were provided (unless they too were from the previous guests?), soap was not.
WiFi password is handwritten and a little hard to decipher between alpha and numeric so would suggest this be typed.
The numbers on the thermostat have faded so it’s a guessing game as to setting the right temperature. You need to listen to the ‘click’ of the current setting.
The queen sized bed was very cozy and comfortable!
There was NO hot water in the complex on our first morning so we couldn’t shower (after chatting to a few ppl in the lift and the lobby they said it was the third this week they’d been without hot water!). When we contacted the owner they responded with an update from building management however didn’t offer any discount or other alternative for the inconvenience.
