We had a nice visit to Vancouver. Julie was a great communicator with us and was very flexible on checkin time, which we were very grateful for. Unfortunately, there were a few too many issues with our stay. We had trouble falling asleep because of the street noise (lots of bars nearby, people shouting) and neighbors playing music with the bass turned up. One of the immediate neighbors clearly smokes inside his unit; not only does it smell very strongly of smoke directly outside this unit, it smells of smoke a little bit inside as well. The most significant issues beyond that were the shower (wasn't cleaned thoroughly, so we cleaned it ourselves) and the thin comforter on the main bed (too thin for the winter months). Despite communicating that we would be checking out at 11, the housecleaner let herself into the unit 40 minutes early without knocking. We had just gotten dressed, so were caught off-guard. While the unit is nicely priced, the cleaning fee is pretty steep, especially considering that we had to leave our towels in the washer, load the dishwasher and take out the trash. We liked the proximity to good restaurants and bars and the unit seemed well secured. The parking spot was nice, too.
