Letty and Gerry's place was very clean, comfortable, and just what I was hoping for. The convenience of in-suite laundry was so wonderful. The air conditioning unit in the apartment is excellent. Leaving the patio door open in the evenings to let the breeze in was perfect, and the view of downtown Vancouver from the patio is top notch. Sunset-viewing on the patio is amazing too.
My one note to make, and this has absolutely nothing to do with Gerry or Letty or the apartment itself, is that there is major construction going on directly across the street and it will continue for many months. If sleeping past 7:30am is important to you bring some ear plugs so as not to be woken by the workers. This is but a small caveat and by no means a reason to stay elsewhere.
The location is so, so close to the skytrain and only 2 stops from downtown. It takes less than 15 minutes to walk to the train and get to downtown.
