Great central location with easy walk to all tourist attractions. Very clean and well maintained grounds. Furniture needs a refresh. Beds are a bit difficult to get in and out of due to the boards around them but overall comfortable. Key pickup and drop off is a couple blocks away but we were able to make it work. Would stay again.

Amazing place to stay!! My wife had a kidney transplant at St Paul’s Hospital and we stayed there for 4 nights/5 days as a family while she recovered across the street!! The accommodation was a quick 4 min walk from the hospital and tons of restaurants and shops nearby. Super clean, quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we were looking for. The host Jan was VERY easy to communicate with and great to deal with for any questions or concerns we had. Will definitely recommend this listing to anyone that is looking for an affordable and great place to stay in the DT core. Very grateful!!!!

Lovely condo with a gorgeous view

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.

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.

Wonderful Location

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.

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.
