The location was perfect. It was just a couple of blocks from the King Edward Station. A short trip on the Canada Line from the airport and a short trip to downtown on the same line. Very convenient. It was also just two blocks from Main Street which has lots of restaurants and shops. It does front a busy street and you can hear the cars from the master bedroom but we did not mind this.
The place itself was great with plenty of space for our two families. It was nicely decorated and equipped with almost everything we needed. There was also a nice outdoor area that the kids were able to play in for a little bit. Because this is the garden apartment, and the hosts live upstairs, you do hear them sometimes. But we also tried to be mindful about making too much noise too.
Liliana was a gracious host. She was flexible with check-in (we arrived late) and check-out (we had to leave quite early in the morning). She met us to check us in and explained everything. There was a little bit of an issue with ants (that she told us about at check-in) despite our best efforts to keep things clean, wiping everything up and vacuuming each night. But if you have small kids this can be tough. Overall, this was a great location and place to stay in for our first visit to Vancouver.
