We had a lovely stay in this apartment! It has everything you could need in an airbnb (comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, good toiletries, etc), but also was just a lovely space to be in, with such cool décor. As others have noted before us, the area has a high rate of homelessness, and we would echo other reviews that say to turn right out of the gate rather than left. We didn't have any issues or bad experience with this though, otherwise.
The location is perfect for exploring all the bars and shops in Gastown, and for going further afield too. We would recommend this airbnb to anyone :)
