Anika’s place is fantastic - very comfortable beds and a fully equipped kitchen. Bright, surprisingly quiet considering its location in the city. Solid concrete building and no audible sounds from neighbours. Fabulous views; the condo is on the 12th floor and has a fun little balcony overlooking the mature trees of Strathcona neighbourhood and East Vancouver. Several of the city’s best craft breweries within walking distance and a couple wonderful breakfast joints.
It is in close proximity of Chinatown and Gastown with lots of shopping and restaurants. It’s notable also to share that the building also cusps the downtown Eastside, which to some can be a bit gritty but this neighbourhood community, regardless of the drug culture, is very safe although that kind of street culture and homelessness could be unsavory and perhaps a bit shocking for some folks.
The underground parking also is quite secure and so we had no qualms or questions regarding personal safety whatsoever.
Would definitely stay again.
