    Property was very thoughtfully equipped. We lacked for nothing during our stay. Tea, coffee, dishwashing and laundry detergents, etc… Everything was provided.
    The place is in a great location and is really nicely decorated. In fact they haven’t updated the pictures since they did some upgrades so its even nicer than the pictures reflect! Great stay, I would recommend!The only thing I would say is that there is construction next door so if you are sensitive to noise and sleep in, it can get a bit loud in the morning.
    Property is nice and met our needs. The location was fabulous! The only issues were that there were a few maintenance issues that needed addressing but unfortunately we’re not remedied during our stay. I would stay there again if the changes were made. Thanks Sue.
    Property was perfect and very comfortable. Thanks for the use of your place!
    Had multiple messages with host before our arrival which were answered promptly. Info booklet for the condo itself were professionally made, answered practically any question one might have and highlighting things to do. Nora, the housekeeper met us there making check in a breeze. This was our first time actually staying in Vancouver vs driving through on our way to whistler. Thank you for helping make it memorable!

    Highly recommend
    The unit was located in central downtown Vancouver which was convenient for walking to the best attractions in the area. The unit was clean and welcoming. In addition, the security was outstanding with key-fob building and elevator access. The only recommendations I have are that guests have more pillow choices (the pillows provided were very thin and not comfortable) and perhaps have a welcome coffee/tea serving for those just arriving and who haven’t had a chance to go to the store yet.
    Great place; very clean, secure and accessible, with all the amenities. Short walk to restaurants and the waterfront! Will stay there again for sure!
    Nice space, middle of everything….. the towels were clean, but a little crunchy with some traces of pet hair…..my guess is from air drying and there wasn’t ample/usable cookware (pots/pans) otherwise all was great. Maybe just bring your own towels and order in instead of cooking. Otherwise it was really nice. Building was great too! We felt super safe and comfortable
    My friend and I enjoyed our stay here. Located close to lots of restaurants and attractions. Maybe a few upgrades would help. e.g.. blinds and some more plates etc in kitchen. Overall, great condo… Thanks Jorge, you were very helpful in refunding our parking fee too..

    We had excellent communication with the property manager, Matt. The apartment was just as described, very bright and clean. It couldn’t have been in a better location, a half block from the seawall, above a great grocery store and near many restaurants. It was nice to be able to use the building hot tub also.
    Just stayed for about a month. The location in Yaletown is superb. Steps to the train, the bus, the aquabus, and seawall. Close to restaurants, grocery and Costco! Matt the host has great communication and knows the area very well. The condo itself was fine for two people. It’s a bit dated and there’s an odd layout but you’re not buying it. Just know it’s not a luxury swanky highrise when you book. We were happy with our decision to stay here.
    Outstanding location for this super cute, clean property. Perhaps the best combo of everything you might want for short vacation. Love Vancouver and this home has it all. Simply perfect
    Nice apt with huge terrace and perfect location.
    The property was very clean and spacious for a one-bedroom in Vancouver. The outdoor space was really nice. The property is close to the Seawall and near to some good dining options. The host was very responsive and check-in and check-out were smooth.

    With its Yaletown location, excellent facilities and great host, we really enjoyed our stay here. The swimming pool was a definite bonus ! Spotlessly clean and everything you need.Only downside? A bit noisy at night on the weekend, but we did have windows open. It was a small price to pay for a lovely apartment. Thank you, Matt.
    Fine
    Communication with Matt was wonderful – he let us drop off our bags when we arrived early and was in touch with us throughout our stay. Loved the condo and the location can’t be beat. We will definitely stay in this condo again.
    My husband and I along with our dog spent three weeks in this condo right in the heart of Yaletown. Although we are not city people we enjoyed every minute of our stay. As advertised, the condo was in a prime location for restaurants, lovely walks along the sea wall and beyond, buses to wherever you’d want to go and Canada Line only a block away as well. Urban Fare Gourmet Market is right downstairs and has everything you could possibly need or want. The condo is right above a busy intersection but surprisingly we were not bothered by the city sounds and when you have the windows closed its fairly quiet. We did have our car but only used it twice in three weeks. Matt was an amazing host, extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. We’d stay here again.
    We enjoyed the easy access to Yaletown eateries and the waterfront from this property. Check in was easy and the host, Matt, was gracious to allow us to drop off our luggage a bit early. Great communication. We also appreciated the pool and hot tub after a long day of sightseeing.

    Location was excellent. Could walk to sea wall, Canada Place, Gaston,Yaletown,Granville. Great for two couples because of two bedrooms and two bathrooms. No AC so quite warm as the fans provided are loud to leave on. Minor maintenance needed (ceiling fan didn’t work and would probably help with air circulation). Parking included is nice. Treats were appreciated. Communication with Host was excellent. Would recommend!
    From the check in process and throughout our stay, communication was great with the property owner. The condo itself was immaculate. Exactly as advertised. Also it was in a great location. Transit nearby and Aquabus to Granville a couple blocks away. I would definitely consider rerenting in the future
    Good service from Suzanne
    Amenities were lacking. We were told to enjoy coffee and snacks, and there was neither available. The was no shower gel, no sponge for dishes . The television in the bedroom was not working, the fan in the dining room was not functioning, the light over the dining table was flicking and there was just a small light in the living room. The furniture is old and not comfortable.
    Host was very communicative and helpful. Property was clean and as advertised. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

    We enjoyed our stay in Vancouver. The condo is close to everything we wanted to do and convenient for the Canada Line to and from the airport.
    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!
    The apartment is very clean and its a great neighborhood. The signage in apartment is not exactly welcoming, more business-like and firm warnings about the AC, towels and linens, etc… The master BR mattress is hard as a rock. Overall was a good place to stay though, as long as you are aware of the above.
    Smart apartment, well kitted out, with parking. Fabulous views. Owner east to liaise with. Would recommend.
    A lovely view and a lovely location. Lots of amenities in the apartment. Plenty to do in the neighborhood. The apartment is very warm – the air conditioner is weak and does not cool the apartment when the weather is on the warm side. There are many fans and we figured out how to manage the heat after a couple nights. Thanks for a pleasant stay!

    The apartment was just as the pictures show. We came of a cruise and since checkin isn’t till the afternoon we were able to find a luggage storage at the belnz coffee shop. This is also a great place to get coffee and pastries. We did the water taxi that was nice. We walked to the station across from the arena. We also walked to restaurants Jam Cafe, old spaghetti factory, local public eatery i Gastown. We uber from the apartment to the airport. You can only check in your luggage 3 hours prior to your departure so remember that when booking airfare. Klay communicated well and has a book with suggestions where to go. Everyone in the building are also nice. I will be staying here next time I come into town. And I definetly plan on returning a bunch of times.
    Perfect location, very clean, loves the views the apartment has. Klay was so great at the communication. Made it such an easy process .
    I can’t think of any negatives. It is a gorgeous home away from home and Klay answered questions immediately. We had a car and there is a fair amount of stress finding the right spot and then refinding your car, but Klay’s instructions are very clear. Other residents were also most helpful. Enjoy a beautiful place and great mattresses.!
    Klay’s property was absolutely perfect. It’s super clean and comes fully stocked with all the essentials. Not only is the unit clean, his place offers pretty unobstructed views of the mountains. He is so easy to communicate with and we really enjoyed our stay. 5 stars across the board from my husband and I
    Perfect place to stay to explore Vancouver!

    Great location!
    It was exactly what the pictures showed and all the amenities that I needed. The host was available if needed but I didn’t need them
    5 star
    Had a wonderful stay! Had concert tickets to Rogers, and it is literally across the street. Wonderfully situated and very comfortable condo. Beds are very comfortable, however if you need the third bed, it is more of a pull out chair suited more for a child. Hellena was super helpful and got us in early to drop off our bags. We loved our stay and would definitely return!
    Great apt! Great location! Loved the outside space!

    This was the absolutely perfect location to discover all that Vancouver has to offer in such a well appointed and beautiful high rise apartment. Vladimir was extremely attentive to our needs and we could not have been happier with our choice. Since the apartment building is right next to a hotel once you walk out the from door there’s a taxi cab waiting for you 24/7. We highly recommend it for your stay.
    The property was spotless and perfectly marketed on vrbo. Great location!
    Highly recommend this place – great location, very clean and stocked well
    The condo was in a great location close to restaurants and the water. At night we had a beautiful view of all the lights of the city. I would recommend this location very highly and hope to come back in the future
    Very tasteful property with stunning views! Beds were comfortable, kitchen had what you needed (but bring your own coffee unless you like instant). Easy to walk to museums, shopping and eating areas and the ocean.

    Great location, easy access to apartment. I highly recommend.
    My family really enjoyed the property… it was clean, efficient, with all the comforts of home.
    This property is located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver in the upper class neighborhood. Walking distance to grocery, shopping and more. Very clean. Perfect for 6 adults. The host was also great. The only thing that is not very convenient is the parking which is not in the same building but still very close. I would highly recommend this property and definitely book it again.
    This home was a great option for my family and I while I attended a conference downtown. Everything you’d get in a hotel, but better because of the full-size kitchen, access to a washer and dryer (and detergent), and Netflix. Good water pressure in the showers. A ~5 minute walk from two grocery stores, a bakery, 7-11, and Starbucks. Great communication with the host. Highly recommended!
    This property is conveniently located and easy to access. The check-in process was smooth and parking was a plus, especially in Vancouver. Tina communicated well and ensured our group had a great stay.
