great place to stay ! the apartment was spotless clean and it was very easy to communicate with the host. Parking was not a problem so if you are renting a car you should have no issues. We just had a little hiccup getting to the apartment as the east hasting strip is not the safest but his apartment was further down so the location did not feel unsafe. if you are renting a car this is a great place to live as down town area is only a 10 min drive away. I would not recommend using public transit to go to downtown because of the sketchy east hasting strip . Even the bus driver warned us and told us to avoid transit if possible.
