The apt seems very new, it was clean and tidy and very comfortable. The building is also new and clean and secure. Lots of people mention the homeless issue and it just happens to be a large presence in Gastown - not specific to this building. However Gastown itself has a lot to offer, it’s pretty central to other places to visit and the apt is very easy to get to from the Sky Train/airport/sea bus to North Van. Arwin was very easy to communicate with and the check in/check out was a breeze.
