I am giving this venue 10/10. It was so clean. It had a drawer of extra spices, teas, spaghetti, different kinds of rice, ... which was fun to go through and useful. There was a fully stocked kitchen, the best of any Airbnb I have stayed in. Only thing missing was a spatula & paper towels.
The view of the water and mountains never got old, a little bit of heaven.
If you are a REALLY light sleeper, this might not be for you. There were occasional sounds from the industrial area on the waterfront 24/7. The sounds did not bother me in the least.
The location felt safe at all times. I am a 60 year old woman and I was travelling alone. I was at this locatoon for 2 weeks. I was using the 3 buses that stop really close to the entrance to the building. (There are parts of East Hastings I would not walk, day or night. They are west of where this building is.) Instead I walked one block south (Pender St). It is residential, then Ist part of China town. I must have walked this route at least 8 times both ways. Found many treasures in the area.
The No Frills grocery store is within walking distance, or you can catch the bus. There is also a Dollar Store right beside No Frills, which occasionally can come in handy.
Took the Skytrain from the airport. It was easy, quick, inexpensive. I easily made my bus connection downtown to take me to Hastings St.
Would love to stay here again the next time I come to Vancouver. Thanks for helping me to have a great Vancouver experience.
