This is a fabulous apartment centrally located to all downtown activities in Vancouver. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and dishes and the like. We spent a week and enjoyed it much. Ian is a wonderful host, and immediatelyl responded to all questions during the reservation period. The apartment is near hotels if you want to make reservations there to meet tours. Ian made great sightseeing suggestions, and there were many brochures about in apartment. In addition, the internet w/ DVD access was a real treat. We would stay there if we visited Vancouverf again.
