What struck us first about the apartment was how nicely it was furnished. Unlike some other airbnbs in the city, this actually had things that weren't from Ikea. There's nothing wrong with Ikea, but it was definitely something we noticed immediately. The other thing we noticed (we came during a heat wave) was the AC. Not a dinky portable unit, but legitimate central air. It was glorious and did an admirable job in keeping the house (relatively) cool. It was a bit warm in the bedrooms as they face the setting sun, but our toddlers were so tired from a fun day out that they still slept just fine. Lastly, the location is amazing. Less than a block to Robson St. with all the bars, restaurants, and shops you could ask for and walking distance to Stanley Park. Also, since there were 2 families, it definitely didn't hurt that there were 2 parking spots. Thanks Anne!
