This apartment is located in the basement of a charming older house in the Strathcona neighborhood, just east of downtown Vancouver. It's walking distance from Vancouver Pacific Central Station (from which you can access a train to Seattle, bus/ferry to Victoria, etc.) and quite a few restaurants and bars.

Samantha and Jason were responsive and had the place very clean and ready for our visit. There was even good coffee (and a French press!) and some food in the refrigerator for a light breakfast.

There was a little noise from the floor above in the morning, but it wasn't bad, as we were rising early, anyway. If you plan on sleeping in, earplugs or a white noise machine may be a good idea.
