Location, location, location. That’s what sold me on the rental. Two blocks from Robson, a major shopping and eating street with Starbucks and Tim Horton's every 2 blocks (and some amazing ramen joints). Four blocks to Transit. It is small, cozy, and warm. But it has no amenities to keep me there. No kitchen (just a fridge and four glasses), the wifi is weak- enough to download text but not video. Just a couple of arm chairs, the smallest tv, and an electric fireplace. There is as nice courtyard but it was useless in early winter weather. It was perfect for what I needed- a jumping off point to explore a great city.
