I used to live in Vancouver and returned for a visit this summer, so as a past-local I can say that Mona's place is a true gem! The apartment itself is considerably large for a big city like Vancouver, so we felt very comfortable in the space. It is in a historic building which added to the charm. The kitchen was great for cooking, and the washer and dryer were so nice to have on site. The bed was super comfy and the shower worked great. The neighborhood itself is SO charming, cute, and perfectly located to reach many of the popular sites in the city. It was an easy walk to Main Street and Fraser Street, both of which are packed with cafes, bars, and restaurants. Also an easy walk to the beautiful Queen Elizabeth park for great views of the city! Even though parking is on the street, there were always multiple spots open to park by the house. This will definitely be my "go to" place to stay everytime I return to Vancity!
