Ishtar's place is near to the Vancouver hospital so you will hear a bunch of ambulance noises, peace is no option since cars on the roads are loud and opening your window in summer will only lead you reading subtitles on your movie. Ishtar is very nice as a host and goes out of her way to provide what is requested. Very friendly and available most of the times. The unit does come filled with essential items which is very handy. I found that the appliances were very old. The interior is also rather mediocre which is why I feel the place was over priced as it is priced competitively to condos in downtown Vancouver. The building is also fairly old. I really liked Ishtar and the condo was also a pleasant experience. Cleanliness was very good
