The apartment is ideally located for the city. It is about a half hour walk to Courtenay Place where there are a plethora of bars and restaurants and a little further to the main shopping area. We didn't take the bus options but the stop is right outside. Parking wasn't an issue, we managed to get a space immediately on arrival and ended up right outside. Fabulous view of the harbour and all the comings and goings. We didn't use the kitchen facilities, apart from the fridge, or the washing machine, but great to have these options.
