Your Alternative to a 5 Star Hotel

NO SMOKING AND NO PARTIES ALLOWED! Please DO NOT CONSIDER THIS PROPERTY IF YOU INTEND TO PARTY. If the neighbours are disturbed, you will have to vacate the property!

This spacious, air-conditioned apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows and 25th floor views of Vancouver is your best alternative to a 5 star hotel accommodation.

There is one King-Size Bed in the first bedroom, and one Queen-Size Bed in the second bedroom. The wall of the third bedroom has been removed as it is around the corner of the living room. There is Double (Full) Size Wall-Bed in there. When the wall-bed is not used it is lifted up to the wall to look like a cabinet. A round table with 4 chairs is placed in that area instead of the bed to create an extension of a living room. In addition, there is a very comfortable Queen Size American Leather Sofa-Bed in the living room. Browse the attached photographs to see the configuration.

With unbeatable location between trendy Yaletown -- a converted warehouse district with an energetic bar and gourmet restaurant scene, and funky West End -- a mixture of international casual dining restaurants and eclectic boutiques, with a walking distance to most tourist attraction of the city, this is possibly your best choice of Vancouver short term accommodation.

All about location
Property is centrally located to everything and very easy to walk or short ride to almost all of the things. Our only negative was the beds, pillows and linens are not comfortable at all and very used but that may be personal preference. If in Vancouver I would possibly stay here again.

Location great but noisy for us
This location is walking distance to just about everything. With that being said and never visiting Vancouver before, we are not used to all the traffic and siren noise. The unit above or next to the master bedroom was doing some form of remodel so during the day there was some tapping and grinding sounds. The view is good, beds were comfortable, plenty of room for our family of 4 adults.

Perfect location in downtown Vancouver
Wow! This condo is in the perfect location for exploring downtown. Tons of great restaurants, shops and grocery store within a short walk. The inside of the condo is beautiful and has amazing views. The floor to ceiling windows are a bit overwhelming at first but make for such an impressive view of the city. Especially at night. Well stocked and comfy. The host communicated with me so well and the instructions for checkin/checkout were very detailed, making the process super easy. Would stay here again when visiting Vancouver.

Great location with amazing views
The condo was in a great location and had great views of the city and water. It served our purpose as a home base to explore Vancouver, but could have offered a bit more. When winding down in the evenings, we could only watch 1 kid channel; due to the cable tv remote not working. There was only 1 tv in the condo (bedrooms didn’t have a tv). The condo lighting could be improved as it primarily lighted by lamps or insufficient fixtures (not an issue during the day with the floor to ceiling windows allowing daylight). Check-in and checkout process is horrible!!! You have to pickup/dropoff the condo key from a convenient store, 2 blocks from the condo (there's no parking at the store and without the key you can't park at the condo). You have to use an app to access the key cafe box within the store. There's no one to assist you, but the owner provides very detailed instructions in an email. The key pickup/dropoff is by far the worst checkin/checkout experience I've ever seen. The number of beds, location and views really help with overlooking the negatives, but those could easily be addressed.

The little things lacking!
The condo was in the perfect location. We loved the layout and the fabulous view. BUT, the kitchen sink had no plug that worked ( we bought one at the Dollar Store), there was a chipped glass in the cupboard, only one facecloth was laid out for 5 people (sign in the closet said we would be charged 25.00 if we touched any of the towels)REALLY?? There were no bedside lamps and no oven mitts in the kitchen. The blinds needed to be repaired and some of the kitchen lighting didn’t work. So, these were all small things but we shouldn’t have had to deal with any of that considering the price we paid for one week in the condo. Attention to detail is important!!

Fantastic view
Up: Fantastic city and ocean view. We enjoyed the view every morning at breakfast and the sunset every night. Very walkable neighborhood, no need to drive if you need to explore downtime. Very comfortable beds, yes, they are firm thus we slept very well! Small apartment but had all amenities for a comfortable stay for a family of 4. Down: The AC didn’t cool down the apartment very much, luckily there were 2 fans, and opening the balcony door helped.

Great view/location - lousy AC
Enjoyed the views and location very much. The AC did a poor job (initially) of keeping the place habitable. After getting a hold of owner and being allowed to set AC cooler all was fine. Breath taking views! Beds are futons and very low to the floor which can be interesting. Bed sheets were not the highest quality. Location makes central city an easy walk away.

Overall, the visit was wonderful. The location is ideal for walking the city, which what our desire was. The property was difficult to keep cool at times, so we found ourselves sleeping with the doors and windows open in the evenings.

All the comforts of home
We enjoyed our visit to Vancouver and to this lovely condo in such a great location. Everything was close by and easily accessible. The condo had all the comforts of home with the added bonus of a remarkable view. The suite is larger than most and beds were quite comfortable. Despite the frequency of sirens and outside noises, we didn't lose any sleep over it. The sleeper sofa wasn't as comfortable as one might have hoped, but there was plenty of other seating to choose from. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jan!

Great location
This is a nice little 2br in a great area for restaurants, shops, etc. Close drives to Stanley Park & Granville Island. Clean, everything in working order. The only challenge was the beds in the bedrooms, which are very low. Anyone with mobility issues would have some difficulty as these are about futon-height. Thankfully the wall bed was down, which is higher, so our group member with bad hips was able to use that!
