My friend and I loved this place and it was as beautiful as pictured. Loved all the windows, views, and balcony. We also enjoyed the cheese shop in next block east and Prototype Coffee. A couple of notes: We arrived via public transit, so didn’t use the garage. If you want to go downtown without a car, we recommend taking a bus, cab, or bike. Parts of East Hastings between the unit and downtown sadly has a large homeless population that runs for several blocks. Just noting so you're aware. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Chris's again! We also rented ebikes from Cycle City and the bike system is great, including riding via Union Street to the apartment from downtown.
