Literally a short walk to gastown popular bars and food places. It was so easy to get from the airport to Amanda's place and we are forever grateful for the warmth it provided. We had an amazing stay and would definitely reccommend our friends to book here as well. That being said, I wouldn't stay here unless I was with another person due to the fact that Vancouver has sizeable homless population close to the area. Regardless, we felt safe walking home since it was sooooo close to everything we wanted to visit, see and do.
