Host: Anthony was very friendly and helpful. He was always happy to share recommendations and is just a very chill person.
Space: Decent sized bed for two (fills most of the room). There's a dresser and closet, and the window has a nice cityscape view. We came during the heat wave, and the room did get quite hot - a box fan could have helped. The kitchen has basic cooking appliances, not much in terms of spices.
View: This apartment is on the 22nd floor, and has a really incredible view of the city and water. Spent lots of time just looking out the window during breakfasts!
Location: I think this building is technically in Chinatown, and really close to Gastown. ~1 minute walk from the train station, ~10 minute walk to the aquabus to Granville Island, and lots of walkable cafes/bars/restaurants nearby. There's a grocery store right across the street too.
Garage: There's one parking spot for all guests in the unit, so make sure to let Anthony know ahead of time if you have a car you'll need to park. The garage felt very very safe for being in the middle of Vancouver, and the spot is right next to the elevator.
Noise: This was the main drawback of this spot for me (as someone used to a fairly quiet apartment). You can hear everything going on in the next room over or the kitchen/common area.
Amenities: The pool/ hot tub were great, and there was also a gym on site.
Dog: I cannot believe that when looking at this listing, no other review mentioned the existence of the perfect angel, this paragon of sunshine, the floofiest floof that resides in this AirBnB. Sasha is a perfect Pomeranian: friendly, cheerful, cheese-obsessed (she'll spin for it!). My life was incomplete before her.
