I stayed in Charles' apartment for about a month in spring 2022. The apartment was in a fantastic location: short walking distance down to the beach path in Kits, or up to the 4th Street shops and grocery stores, and easy to get downtown (or out of town!) via Burrard. The apartment also had incredible views, and as a solo woman traveler I felt very safe in the apartment and in the neighborhood. As suggested but not explicitly stated in the listing, the apartment is not renovated, but is comfortable enough. I had some issues with cleanliness upon check-in but I discussed those with Charles and I am certain he will address them in the future. I did some very simple cooking and baking while I was there and found that I had to buy a few pieces of equipment in order to do so (I left everything I bought behind in the apartment, but I mention it because others should be prepared that they made need to make some purchases if planning to cook as well!). Overall a very lovely stay.
