The apartment is great! Lots of space, fully stocked kitchen and bathroom, very quiet at night. Gastown is a nice neighbourhood with lots of food options, shopping, and an easy walk to transportation.
During my stay, I asked Sam about a second set of keys and heard no response, so for me communication could have been better. There were three of us in the Airbnb and it was tough to coordinate returning to the apartment at different times.
I think it is important to mention that if you walk in the direction away from Gastown from the apartment, you will inevitably pass through East Hastings street, a very saturated area of homelessness and explicit drug use. While the people on the street aren't dangerous to passersby, it's a very upsetting situation. I just urge future guests to keep this in mind when booking vacations in this area, so that blame isn't placed on the host.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend Sam's apartment!
