Do you have a link or location?

You have south Granville on your doorstep which is nice for shops, you have Granville island next door which is a nice place to wander and shop, the sea wall is always a nice walk, kits beach is a 10 minute walk, and you're a 5 min drive to downtown or a 25 min walk (maybe less if you take the aquabus).

It's a nice building and certainly worth a look.

Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it. I still can't believe that we could get places like these for his price (keep in mind that we're from Oxford and we get NOTHING for these kinds of prices).

Really, you couldn't rent something in Oxford for 1500 quid pcm?

It's been a long time since I lived there, but I think our 4 bed house was only about 600 a month back then!

For that money you'd be right on the sea wall too

Sorted.
Seconded! I love this area - so convenient for every direction, seawall and downtown a stone's throw away and amazing views. For $2000+ you could get a really nice place with amazing views, no problem. I hop on the Canada Line to get to work (or you could easily walk or cycle) - the heart of downtown is 2 stops from Olympic Village station and my commute is 15 mins door to door.

Welcome to Vancouver!
