My partner and I were due to check into Patrick's beautiful 'industrial' loft in the upcoming East Vancouver area on a Sunday (check in is 4pm). Given we were staying at another location in Downtown for work purposes (we were visiting from Australia for a conference), Patrick stayed in touch via Airbnb texts to let us know if the loft was available earlier. Very nice of him given it was his Sunday! When we arrived, Patrick (and Siobhan and their young pup Sadie!!) met us promptly, took us up to the loft (which was very secure), and were very helpful and friendly. Patrick provides a blog on how to use everything and what's around the local area... And everything in the loft is clearly labelled or self-explanatory. This place is super spacious, very clean, and well represented by the photos online. It was great to have a huge washer and dryer (with washing detergent!) when staying 6 nights. All facilities were fantastic - shower, bathtub, full kitchen, bed upstairs, TV with Netflix, heating, and a/c (although we didn't use it given it was Fall). Aesthetically, additions like the working vintage pinball machine, the incredible view (with binoculars!), and the rooftop common area, make this location a great way to experience East Van. I understand some reviews mention the train noise (the loft overlooks a stunning vista of water and mountains, but also an industrial train and shipping area). Although we experienced the occasional noisy train passing, we found the general background of industrial 'white noise' un-intrusive and somewhat soothing. Full disclosure, I wear ear plugs to sleep, and we slept unusually heavily because of travel fun! Thanks so much for having us Patrick... We'd definitely stay here again and recommend to friends!!!
