Our home is a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment facing the sunny side of the building (south-east facing) on the top floor (3rd floor). Our home can accommodate up to two adults.

Our home is situated in one of the best areas of Vancouver. We are very close to multiple transit lines that are only a block away (Broadway), or a few blocks away (Burrard Street, 4th Avenue), and we are very close to the downtown area (short bus ride over the bridge).

Our apartment is close to Kitsilano Beach (roughly 12 blocks away), one of the best beaches in Vancouver (and maybe one of the best in Canada). Kitsilano Beach is also home to Kitsilano Pool, a long, outdoor pool with amazing views of the beach, North Shore Mountains, and Downtown Vancouver.

There are many grocery stores to choose from in the area in all directions, which are all about a 5-10 minute walk away. Our home is also close to small boutique shops in Kitsilano (on 4th Avenue) and large stores in the downtown area.

There are many different coffee shops nearby (within 5 blocks). There are also many indoor fitness gyms for exercising close by (big community centre, and many small privately owned gyms).

The area of east Kitsilano contains everything from single family homes to many three-story apartment buildings and up to 12-story apartment buildings nearby. The area is generally quiet and residential, although if you walk one to four blocks away, you will have stores, transit, and everything at your disposal.

Our building has both stairs and an elevator very close by to the apartment door. The laundry room is found in the basement (accessible by elevator) - there is no in-suite laundry.

In terms of size, our apartment is 641 square feet/60 square metres (inside), and 74 square feet/7 square metres (balcony). Our building was built in 1972, but the apartment and building has undergone many renovations, including a new roof just last year.
