Richard deserves having Super Host status as he is very responsive to any messages - and there were a few hiccups = none his fault - that he responded to quickly - the location is close to the action and the apartment itself is as represented on the site, funky, great views and has everything catered for, it represents very good value for money, there are many good eateries around , if you like a little upmarket like me try : Per Se Social, Homer St Cafe and get to Yaletown to some great eateries there - a couple of reasons I marked it down a star:
1. The building itself whilst very central is someone of a construction zone - residents told me its been flooded 3 times by Air B N B stayers and the lifts are covered, all the floors taped up etc - large fans going to dry it out and I felt a bit embarrassed to have anyone meet me there
2. I was a woman travelling on my own and the building aspect (again no fault of Richards) felt a bit "too downtown", the doorways around had been urinated in and a few undesirables - I never at anytime felt unsafe however.
All in all it is a good apartment with the building letting it down - but apples for apples a nice hotel on the West end will cost you more than double for the night - Aritgiano on Hornby worth a visit if you are particular about your coffee ..ALl are in walking distance :-)
