A terrific rental. The unit is located less than a 2min walk to Stadium/Chinatown. There’s a great Asian grocery store across the street—which has an incredible selection of fresh & packaged goods. Literally, there’s fresh tilapia (swimming in a tank) that you can buy.
For whatever reason, the condos in Vancouver tend not to have air conditioning. The unit was about 10 degrees (F) warmer than the outside temperature…so, in August, there a few hours of less than ideal heat (somewhat managed by a pair of provided fans…until the temperature dropped).
I didn’t cook…but the kitchen seemed we’ll stocked. As a corner unit, the view of Rogers/BC is terrific (and the small deck pleasant…a great way to end the day).
The guest room is due for a coat of paint and some minor touch-ups could be done (including replacing a Venetian blind of two). I still give the place 5-stars but it’s probably a month away from losing a star because of needed minor touch-ups.
It’s worth noting that the general neighborhood has a small number (maybe one per block) homeless people or street folks who are getting high with a slightly higher concentration (3-4) near a pair of shelters three blocks away. There were no issues. Just worth noting.
A few highlight. Jam’s Cafe is less than 2 blocks away. Prado coffee is a good place for a morning coffee. Blenz coffee (next door) opens at 6am.
Travel to Waterfront is easy…just 3 subway stops or about a 15min walk.
