Review of the Building
The building is in a centralized location for downtown Vancouver.
You have the Chinatown Skytrain within walking distance as well as a Costco, TnT Supermarket and many eateries around the area with some of them open late. As for location there is Rogers Arena, Gas Town, China Town, Science World, Canada Place, Top of Vancouver and much more close by.
Unfortunately this building has only one working elevator at the time of this review. The second elevator has a sign stating it will be fixed in a week but has been broken since April 2022. There was even a day where the only working elevator had broke and it took them till the evening to fix. Luckily it was the weekend so the traffic of residence was less. With only one working elevator there is a queue sometimes during peak hours and it can take upward to 5 mins. Plan accordingly, especially if you forget something in your room.
Review of the Listing
The airbnb is amazing.
It has a really good view both during the day and night. There was even a few nights where fireworks could be seen in the distance.
The airbnb is well kept, clean and cozy
It is stocked really well. Everything you need including bedding and kitchenware as well as cleaning supplies, laundry, bath and toiletry items.
We had an unfortunate issue with the AC not working upon arrival, however it was remedied quickly by the host. Our host (Julia in this case) was able to provide a portable AC and offered other remedies to the issue such as additional fans. She even went above and beyond and did her own DIY and made some insulation for the window that contained the portable AC. She is really nice and made amazing recommendations for places to eat at in the area as well as places to shop.
I would recommend this airbnb especially since its in a great centralized location for downtown.
You can get around town easily with the Sky Train, bus, EVO cars, or even just walking. Having things provided to cook (like pots, pans, plates, and silverware) as well as grocery stores nearby makes it easy to prep meals at the airbnb. There is lots to do in the area and its great having two amazing host (Julia and Robert).
Would definitely stay at this location again.
