I absolutely loved Tatiana's place. Tatiana replied promptly to any query I had and check-in was a breeze. The loft is spacious and furnished with absolutely everything I needed (plus a couple of extra things I didn't need but were fabulous to have). Cooking in Tatiana's kitchen was a real joy and by far the best Airbnb kitchen I've worked in. It's well stocked with functional pots and pans and a bunch of essentials ready to go e.g. salt, pepper, oil, soy sauce, etc. The coffee beans, grinder and french press were very much appreciated!
The bed is huge and extremely comfortable and the shower has great pressure and proper hot water. Again, essentials ready to go with soap, shampoo and conditioner. There are many wonderful restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. Similarly, a supermarket (Nester's market) and pharmacy are just one block over.
The only downer is the locals; being on the east side of Gastown there are a lot of homeless people and drug addicts around. The property has fantastic security but I was constantly on my guard when out and about. I didn't feel comfortable going out after dark for the first few nights and then I only headed west into Gastown, I avoided anything east of Tatiana's place after dark unless it was just over the road e.g. La Mezcaleria and Nicli Antica Pizzeria (both highly recommended). I was reassured by many locals that it's safe but it was still quite confronting and intimidating. The other down side is the noise from the street wafts up to the loft. Despite this, Tatiana's place is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at and would stay there again if I ever have the opportunity.
