We would highly recommend Robert's place if you are looking for a modern renovation that is well placed within the Commercial District. Although it is in a nice tree lined residential street you just need to walk 150 metres and turn the corner to find a lively, hip environment with multiple restaurants, cafes, bars, mini markets etc. It is an up-and-coming area and you need to be prepared for an eclectic diverse community and this just adds to your experience. We chose to use the train network (which is great) to get around Vancouver and this is an easy 10-15 minute walk from the apartment, otherwise you can catch a bus once you have completed the 150-200 metre walk. Enjoy your stay from Robert's place - we certainly did!
