This apartment was overall an okay experience and suited my purposes. I was working while traveling and this was great for me, plenty of space and very comfortable. Getting into the apartment the first time was a bit tricky and I appreciated the very detailed instructions that I was sent. It made the process go a lot smoother than it could have. The group that manages the apartment are quick to respond, which I also appreciated, though follow-through was lacking.
Everything seemed quite clean and I overall have no complaints about that. I liked the small touches, like a first aid kit and plenty of tissues. The location was great, I had no problems getting around and there was loads of delicious food within easy walking distance.
Really my only issue with the stay is this: my first day I noticed that there was some food visible down the garbage disposal and when I ran the disposal it was clearly jammed. I contacted the AirBnb managers and they were prompt in replying that they would send someone to look at it. That was was the last I heard of it the entire rest of my stay. I get that things break and I also get that it's particularly hard right now to get service people to do house calls due to labor shortages. But the utter lack of communication about it is what I find excessively annoying. The food in the drain predated my arrival and therefore by the time I left it was starting to rot and smell. It's good that my stay was relatively short or it would have become unbearable.
In conclusion, this won't be my first choice of place to stay when I return to Vancouver but I also won't actively avoid it either.
