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.

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 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.
