Very easy to get downtown on the no. 2 bus, outside the bank on the corner of Macdonald and I can't remember!! It drops you by the church so only a short walk straight down to the harbourfront.
Kitsilano beach is approx 20-30 mins walk away, and Granville Island can be reached by dinky ferry by the maritime museum for $5 or about a half hr walk away.
Lots of Chinese, Vietnamese restaurants nearby. Also a lovely 'new' Greek one 'Nostos Taverna' , well worth a visit. The Sunshine diner has huge breakfasts, or call at Solly's for the best bagels. Lots of bakeries and a big Safeway at the end of the rd if you like cooking!! (As you can see I don't on holiday!!)
Neighbourhood is quiet, though the apartment is opposiite a school!!
There is a fish pond in the garden full of fish.
Double bed was comfy, as was the bottom bunk.
