This was a great find for us that was close enough to the action in downtown and convenient enough to get around!
Check In: The check-in process was very smooth and both Jeff and Jimena were excellent communicators. We were able to drop off our luggage early before check-in as we arrived in Vancouver in the morning. There were two sets of keys + fobs available for us which was convenient as well.
Room Layout: Overall, the apartment was nice and cozy. Great for our 3 person group. There are two rooms with beds in it and a third sofa bed in the living room. The rooms with beds in it were comfortable to sleep on. The sofa bed is not as comfortable and would suggest people who are smaller in size to go on that bed as opposed to someone with a larger frame. That being said, Jimena was understanding and brought an additional duvet for comfort when we brought this up to them. It was nice to have the kitchen and working washer/dryer machines. One thing to note is that the washroom door lock is a little finicky and requires a bit of finesse to keep the door closed. However, if guests are part of the same family, it shouldn't be an issue.
Location: There's a MEC right across the street if you need outdoors gear. There's also a car rental agency just down the street if you need to rent a car. Location is fairly convenient by bus transit and we didn't have an issue getting around the area. Close to the Science World and to the walk along the waterfront which was exactly what we did on the first day! I think I recall seeing some reviews saying that the area was sketchy and there were a lot of homeless people nearby. However, I honestly didn't really feel that the area was unsafe and it was relatively okay - being located in a downtown area.
Overall experience - If you're looking for a cozy condo at a decent price and near Downtown and Chinatown, I'd recommend Jeff and Jimena's place! Was a convenient stay and the hosts were great at messaging and responding to our needs and questions. Would stay at this condo again the next time I come to Vancouver. Thanks Jeff and Jimena for a great stay!
