My friends and I stayed at Kinuyo's apartment this past weekend and really enjoyed it. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has all the essentials, the views from her balcony can't be beat, and the location means so much of Vancouver is within walking distance. Like other reviewers have noted, it is in a central part of town, which means there is unavoidable noise — if you're a city person, it's pretty par for the course, so we didn't have any problems at all. Thanks again Kinuyo!
