Ro and Ana's place was very stylish and clean. It's in a great location with quick access to several Vancouver neighborhoods. It is close to Granville Island, which has a ton of shopping and food options. There are a few places within one block (Tim Hortons and a couple of restaurants), and quite a few more places within about 5-6 blocks walking distance. There is a kind of little "hidden gem" area within walking distance with three restaurants, one of which is called Wicklow Pub. Look for it on Google Maps! We did have a car, so I didn't use public transportation on this trip, but I did see buses going by and bus stops on that street, so that might be an option as well.
The entrance to the condo is in a secure courtyard, so even though there is a main street nearby, it felt private and safe. It looks just like the photos. We were a group of five adults, three of whom were over 60, and it was very comfortable for us. The little details were nice too, like the art, decor, the bathroom and kitchen were outfitted with everything you might need, etc. The kitchen was really nice- I had kitchen envy. We never cooked a full meal there, but we could have- there was a full stove, refrigerator, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans etc. There was even a cabinet full of lovely teacups. :) We did have lots of drinks and snacks as a family, and it was nice to have space to hang out all together. It was an affordable space for the quality.
Ro was a great communicator. We communicated a couple of times before our visit and I always got a prompt reply. The day we arrived, I had a question about some checkin instructions. It was my fault, not his; he provided good checkin instructions. I had written them on paper and written them down wrong (I should have printed them out!). My phone was on like 2% battery, so I was a little stressed out. I messaged him, he answered right away, and it resolved my question.
I would definitely recommend Ro's place for a trip to Vancouver! Thank you, Ro and Ana, for a nice visit!
