I would definetely recommend this place! Katie's studio is modern, clean and located very centrally in downtown / Yaletown Vancouver within walking distance to a grocery store and bars and restaurants. The check-in is very smooth as there is a key collection / drop off location right next to the apartment. This makes things very easy for people who need to check out very early e.g. The location is also ideal if you need to get to the airport as it is very close to one of the metro stations for the line directly going to the aiport. Washing machine and dryer were very helpful for us. For people how rent a bike for more than one day (which is the perfect way for discovering Vancouver) the private little backyard or the mud room are ideal to store 1 or 2 bikes overnight. According to the companies renting out the bikes, bikes should not be stored outside overnight. Only thing one should keep in mind: as this is a downtown location it can be a bit more noisy on weekends when Vancouver really comes to live :)
