Pros: The apartment is located on a charming corner in the heart of Vancouver's Gastown neighborhood. Countless restaurants, cafes, shops, and attractions are surround the apartment, and public transit options are nearby, eliminating the need for a car. The apartment was clean and nicely designed, with washer/dryer, fire, and balcony.
Cons: As a frequent solo traveler, the check in process would've made me feel uncomfortable had I not been with my partner. A self check in was advertised, but the building entry system calls the owner, who didn't answer until I tried by phone. Had I known it was a coordinated entry, I would've shared our eta vs arriving after dark. The apartment was left unlocked, key inside; it felt frightening entering a dark, unknown space. A lockbox would help. The free parking, much appreciated, was tricky to locate and a tight fit. Finally, although stylish, the bed and couch were cheaply made and very uncomfortable to sleep on for several nights.
