It's a nice apartment in a nice building. All the amenities I was expecting were there, and there were detailed directions on how to use everything (dishwasher, washer/dryer, etc.) I was a bit concerned about the lack of air conditioning. But, it really wasn't necessary, even in August. There are some very good restaurants very nearby. It's around a 10 minute walk to Rodgers Arena/BC Place, and a similar distance to Gastown. Our host was helpful and responsive and I had a very positive experience overall. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again if I went back to Vancouver.
