This was a great place to stay. The apartment is very spacious and has lots of good storage space as well. There is a big storeroom opposite the entrance and a big wardrobe in the bedroom and I really appreciated that. The kitchen is very well appointed and has all the equipment that you need for basic cooking. There was also somewhere I could park a bicycle as well - the whole complex is very well appointed and very secure too.
The apartment is in a really great location with a number of bus routes nearby and a supermarket a couple of blocks away. You can get to the main Kitselano shopping/dining area in under 10 minutes. The beach was a bit further than that and I ended up not heading down there a lot. It’s possible to walk to Granville Island from the apartment but that takes quite a while.
The apartment doesn’t get a huge amount of natural light - it’s only the very front of the apartment that has windows (these are full length though) and there are also trees, which are lovely but also block the light a bit. I was there in October and November and maybe this isn’t an issue in the summer months. I really enjoyed my stay and the relaxed spacious environment more than made up for that in the end.
