Easy walk to Granville Island shops - definitely go to the Public Market; it is not just a food market, it includes vendors of all kinds with good prices. The artisan market was also great with unique pieces. I struggled a little bit with check in, couldn’t find the apartment but our flight was delayed and the time change added 3 hours, so that might be why. Loved having the parking spot, as we rented a car to go to Whistler. Would stay here again.
