This apartment is in the perfect location for experiencing a part of Vancouver that is a little off of the beaten path but so worthwhile to see. It is but two blocks from Main Street, which offers so much entertainment (shopping, restaurants, bars), as well as being really close to Queen Elizabeth Park (where we really enjoyed seeing the Bloedel Conservatory). The apartment also has a beautiful kitchen that has most things needed to cook for yourself (but could do with the addition of salt and pepper shakers and maybe a sharper knife for chopping!), which we used quite a lot. Mona was a gracious host - quick to respond, she put in effort to ensure our stay was going flawlessly (as well as having the apartment spotlessly clean for our arrival). One note may be that if you're a light sleeper and planning on sleeping in, there can be some noise transfer from the upstairs apartment (but didn't bother us much, as it was just in short spurts every once in a while). All in all, we loved our experience at Mona's place and would highly recommend!
