I enjoy the walkability of this location; while it's not super close to the train system, a few convenient bus routes stop just out front and only a few blocks to walk to Hornby street aqua bus ($6 or less depending on which stop you're going to). There are many homeless in this area, if that makes you uncomfortable do not book this listing. Amazing access to Granville Island just over the bridge.
There is no bath tub or AC in this unit. Sept 2018 we were unable to get the bbq to start and the auto start button was broken so maybe plan your meals to be baked in oven as backup plan. The glass top of the coffee table is not attached so beware of shifting it.
You may hear other tenants in the hallway but we did not hear noise from adjacent suites. There is considerable noise from the streets below as it is 2nd floor, and if you sleep with windows open expect to hear the seagulls early in the morning.
Check in and out was very easy with key cafe lock box. Host was very helpful during booking and checkin.
