Spent a week at Shan’s place. Super central and close to everything you’ll need during your stay in downtown. The place itself had everything we needed to be comfortable while away from home. We didn’t cook, as there are too many great restaurants nearby, but if you do choose to there are pots, pans, etc. Also, check out T&T downstairs. Great Asian grocery store with lots of the necessities you’ll need if you choose to dine in. The prices are reasonable and the selection of snacks are A+. Shan was super quick to respond and helpful if we had questions. Would absolutely stay here again when we visit Van.
