This place was perfect for my family. It is very quiet at night, but just a block from Broadway, a street full of shops and restaurants. We found an excellent French bakery just three blocks away where we ended up going every morning.
I like to run, and it's a runner/walker's paradise, just a quarter mile to English Bay. There's a path there that runs several miles along the shore. With the mountains in the background and the container ships sitting in the bay, it was truly spectacular.
The apartment has recently had a high end remodel -- with heated floors, a spacious, well-equipped kitchen, and a lovely bathroom. It's polished but warm and personal.
We met Kelly and John briefly and they are gracious hosts. When a heavy snow storm began (and these are rare in Vancouver) they offered to take us where we needed to go in their 4-wheel drive!
