We had a wonderful stay at Jaq and Dirk's art loft. The place was clean, new and comfortable. It was nice being closely located to the downtown core. It was an easy and short 5 min bus ride to the main downtown attractions. The city buses were free in the downtown core from 6am-7pm so that was a plus! (I think this is only until the end of Sept though). Being in the international district, there were some great places to eat. Jaq and Dirk have put together a binder with some suggestions.
I definitely recommend this place! You will love it!
