Daniel's penthouse was the perfect home base for a month spent visiting nearby family in Vancouver. The location can't be beat — perfectly situated in Kitsilano on a quiet street, but within 5 minutes of multiple grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, cafes, etc on West 4th Ave. The apartment has a great layout, tons of natural light from big windows, and is generally well thought-out.
Wifi is good enough to support working from home (we had 2 people on concurrent video calls, with occasional ~10 second dropped connections but otherwise perfect) and extends throughout the apartment – including onto the patio/deck! The patio is absolutely the star of the show. Spacious (room for a small gathering, if you wanted), lots of seating, great view, and the gas fireplace is a nice touch too. Since it was still summer, we ate practically every meal outside.
Kitchen is well equipped and makes great use of the small space.
It's pretty hard to think of things you might want to be aware of. Maybe worth noting that there isn't a dishwasher so you'll be washing dishes by hand. And it's true that the apartment building itself is somewhat shabby but other than the laundry room (which we didn't use so can't vouch for) that shouldn't really matter as you'll only be passing through on your way in and out of the bright, clean, nice penthouse.
