Bring Your Earplugs!
The condo is in a convenient location near the waterfront, with shopping, restaurants and mass transit nearby. However, the view is exaggerated, as it can only be enjoyed from the very small balcony (which only holds 2 small chairs), since the living room and kitchen face other skyscrapers. The 2 bathrooms share a single shower that is located between them with no way to isolate the shower, so privacy is lacking in this floor plan. The bathrooms are open to each other through a “Jack and Jill” shower, so you hear every sound from the adjacent bathroom. The kitchen was not well-stocked. Although the listing says 6 people would be comfortable that many would not, given there is only a single sleeper sofa to sit on in the living room. We were unfortunate to be there during a summer heat wave, and the small portable AC in the living room was insufficient, cooling the living room only to the low 80s while the bedrooms sweltered. When the windows are open, the noise from the nearby Skytrain station and expressways right below was incredibly loud, so bring your earplugs to help with sleeping. The condo also needs a thorough cleaning and some maintenance.
The host was communicative and helpful, bringing us fans to deal with the heat, and hopefully at least some of the above issues have since been addressed.
