A nice place in a great location. The condo is located on Howe St and the building is called Tate. It’s got a gym, billiards and more if you’re interested. Great connections for public transport with most busses within a two minute walk on Granville St or Davie St.
Very well stocked with the majority of things: lots of cleaning products, cooking equipment and personal care products. Unfortunately there was only one dinner plate and two saucer size plates and no knives or spoons - we purchased some new ones and the host offered to give us the money back.
With the windows open it can be loud - the balcony overlooks Howe St. which leads onto Granville bridge. If the windows are closed it’s absolutely fine and didn’t bother us. If there was air conditioning then this would be less bothersome as there wouldn’t be as much need to open windows/doors to allow a breeze.
Super comfortable bed and high quality bedding and ample space to hang/store clothes in the closet. The blinds are not blackout and are let a lot of light through - I would recommend a sleep mask if you are a light sleeper.
If you like to relax on the sofa after a busy day this may not be the right fit for you. The sofa is a foldable futon style and is very rigid - I did not find this comfortable. There is a separate chair which is more comfortable to relax in - however if you want to watch TV you will need to sit on the bed.
The office/den area is really useful and a welcome addition when needing to concentrate away from others. Whilst the desk is narrow width it is still useable for daily working.
Expect to collect the keys from a nearby 7/11 - it’s a smooth process but not ideal when you’ve come off a long flight. There is a no Airbnb sign on the main doors, but month long stays are permitted.
Overall this is a nice place to stay if you need a base whilst visiting or whilst getting set up in a new city. There are definitely cheaper places.
