About this property

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.

Great location to Robson and easy to use public transport and perfect size apartment for the 3 of us. Loved the views especially at night. Our only issue was the lack of available wardrobe space, we were there for 8 nights but every cupboard was full of towels, etc.

Vancouver stay

We stay via VRBO vs hotel for our family of five for one night before we start our Princess Cruise. The location was beautiful and convenient. The place was clean and locating the key was not too difficult. Nearby there were many options to walk around. It worked well for us.

Stylish, clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Great location and views. Walk or ride share easily. We didn't cook but the kitchen seemed to be well equipped. The unit is primarily south/southwest exposure so plenty of light.

Check in is a bit awkward as the key is located 1 ½ blocks from the flat in a lockbox. Check in is actually quite easy but it check out hard as the store is open 5 am to 3 am but we needed to leave before 5. Our host helped us work this out. It was missing two of the listed amenities: gym and pool. They were available nearby for purchase. It bothered us. It was a well-located and bright apartment that fit our needs. Great views. Thank you

We stayed here for a few days after finishing our Alaska cruise. Absolutely a lovely place and the view from the 25th floor over Vancouver and all the way to the harbor was stunning! We would definitely stay there again.

In Van for AC/DC

Unique shape to condo lends to an exceptional view of the bay and downtown. Furnishings are comfortable and supply of dishes, cutlery, cookware was in good supply. Beds are spacious and welcoming to a restful sleep - they are recessed close to the floor. The condo itself is quiet and residents we met from neighbouring units helpful and friendly, Location is perfect point to explore waterfront, BC place, high end shopping and a quick Uber to Stanley Park and Granville Island. Highly recommend Jan and his condo.

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.
