I've rented through VBRO for years and this condo rates at the top of my list. It is thoughtfully equipped, has a gorgeous view, and the owners were a pleasure to work with. A couple of things to know - the Sky Train is elevated and runs in front of the building - it was my alarm clock every morning. You hear traffic noise. The rooms are very spacious. The kitchen is well equipped. The building is from the 1990s. I'm already planning my next stay.

The view was spectacular looking down False Creek. Jim and Esperanza Smith were excellent host! We felt right at home on the day we arrived and hated to leave six weeks later. The condo was clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The train noise of the Expo Line might be a problem to some; however, we missed the noise when we returned home. We are hoping the condo is available next year.

What a magical experience! Jim and Esperenza’s warm welcome, helpful suggestions and special touches throughout their impeccably clean and artfully furnished condo made us feel right at home while simultaneously making us feel as though we were visiting royalty! Their attention to every detail is felt throughout and it is obvious that their goal is to be certain you enjoy your stay. Truly, the magic of this condo is the views; they are simply stunning! The energy of the city delights daily and just captivates you as you watch all the activity unfold below. The hustle, bustle, sounds and vibrancy of the city were exactly what we were looking for. We are fortunate to live on a quiet nature preserve in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains, so we enjoy spending our vacations in urban environments to experience city life and all that it offers. Vancouver, and particularly this location, does not disappoint. We loved walking the sea wall every day; it surrounds the city and makes for pleasant exploration. We also enjoyed the water taxis that transit up and down False Creek, a very civilized way to travel to dinner in Yaletown or over to Granville Island to shop their fresh food market! We were extremely impressed by Vancouver’s exceptional public transit system; it is efficient, safe, clean, reliable and reasonably priced. The Sky Train is right around the corner, you could not ask for a more convenient location. The Sky Train might be considered noisy by others, but we strongly feel that the views, location, quality of the condo and warmth of the owners outweigh city noises (easily mitigated by playing music or wearing noise cancelling headphones if you are sensitive). During our month-long visit, we explored several other neighborhoods which may be quieter, but to us they felt tightly squeezed, had limited views and would never offer the robust energy of the city on display daily from this condo location. It just made our hearts happy to come “home” each evening, toast the sunset from the balcony and await the colorful illumination of Rogers Arena, Science World and Vancouver’s waterfront skyline to entertain us. Thank you Jim and Esperenza for a memorable visit! Everything was perfect!

The owners greeted us & were very helpful.This is a secure building.We enjoyed the proximity to biking & walking trails + proximity to the downtown & shopping.The view was amazing.Always something going on.

Excellent apartment and location and it is just like in the pictures. Hosts are pretty nice, welcoming and 100% available for any kind of help or issue. We had an amazing time and I truly recommend!

I absolutely loved staying here. The space itself is beautiful and comfortable, and the views are (I think) unmatched in Vancouver. There's all day sunlight streaming into this apartment, even on the cloudiest Vancouver days, which is such a treat. Jim and Esperanza are gems and made me feel right at home here. I highly recommend spending any amount of time here, if you can.

The apartment is fist class and has everything your heart desires. Verry well maintained, with excellent attention to detail and state-of-the-art technology. The owners and the manager are truly great hosts, very attentive and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Jim and Esperanza - many thanks for unforgettable days in Vancouver. I'd love to come back!

This place was a dream come true! I honestly couldn't have asked for better. I stayed here for eleven weeks at the end of 2017 and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Esperanza and Jim were great hosts and left us to enjoy their amazing apartment (though they live elsewhere in the building and are available if needed). Location is great just across from the Science World and just around the corner from a Skytrain stop. Apparently some people are bothered by the noise of the Skytrain passing but it was a complete non-issue for us. As a person who loves living in major cities l enjoy the soundtrack that comes with urban living. Vancouver is a beautiful city and this is the ideal apartment from which to enjoy it. Highly recommended.
