About this property
Your Alternative to a 5 Star Hotel
20 minutes walking distance to the BC Place Stadium where the World Cup Soccer matches will be played in June and July 2026.
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 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!!!!
Great place! Location was excellent and the condo was very clean and tidy. Lots of amenities in the area. Could get hot during the day with the sun shining in the windows on nice days, but cooled off at night.

Apartment is in a great location with fabulous views of the Vancouver skyline.
This apartment was great! Perfectly located for us to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was very clean and stocked well. The host did a wonderful job keeping us informed.
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment!Views were spectacular, kitchen was well equipped, both Jan (host) and Anna (cleaner) were very responsive.Vancouver itself is a delight - great restaurants, interesting architecture and different neighborhoods. Very walk-able too. One day 8 miles but didn't feel tired at all!Next time Granville Island market on the first day to get the best possible EVERYTHING for our stay!
Girls trip 55 plus age Close to everything Listing mentions a pool but it’s a 25 charge per day per person to use the facility Key process is a little inconvenient but easy once you know what you are doing Main toilet is a slow / low flusher Great stay Thank you

Wonderful accommodations!
Very clean, well appointed unit conveniently located - perfect for our stay in Vancouver. Owner communicated well - we enjoyed interacting with him. We would definitely stay at this property again and will recommend to friends/family.
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.
Great location in the middle of the city, and it has parking! We walked a lot, but nice to have our car available for day trips out. Had a really nice time!
Excellent stay at this property. Close to supermarket, bars, restaurants (Yaletown), attractions, and includes a parking spot. Excellent views from this 25th floor apartment with two full bathrooms, sleeping accommodations for 6-8.
This space blew me away.
The views of the city, mountains and ocean were spectacular and the location was perfect. It was clean, spacious and had everything we needed.
Would love to come back!
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.
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.
Fantastic apartment that slept 5 comfortably. We liked the location , but neighbours are very sensitive to any little noise. Very clean, and all facilities. We would stay again
