Beautiful and bright 1 bedroom apt in residential area of downtown Vancouver. 7th floor. Lovely views of the ocean. 1 1/2 short blocks to fantastic beach at English Bay, Stanley Park and the seawall (great for walking). Excellent restaurants all around. Close to Robson St. with excellent shopping. Grocery store within easy walking distance. Location can't be beat. Apartment is newly renovated. Fully stocked, easy to use kitchen with quartzite countertops. Very comfortable sofa bed in living room. Hardwood floors. Balcony to watch the sunset (southwest exposure). King size bed with large closet. Very comfortable home to use as you explore Vancouver and area. We are an 80 minute drive to Whistler for world class skiing and close to ferries to Vancouver Island.
