The location for walking to see the sights of Vancouver was superb! We could walk to the charming waterfront, many, many cafes and restaurants, the Old Town area, the Art museum, and the Urban Fare grocery. It is indeed a PRIME LOCATION. The word Upscale in the title could be misleading. Yes, it was an upscale neighborhood but this unit did not seem upscale to us. However it was more than adequate as a place to sleep (quiet!) and keep our gear and luggage (exceptional storage space). Families that want to dine together around a table should be aware that the dining room and table are tiny and will fit only 2 people.
