Peter's place is in a great location. The neighborhood feels very safe, and it is very lively: full of restaurants, cafes and shops, including a 24 hour coffee shop. It's also a short walk to the waterfront (less than 10 minutes in either direction), and about 20 minutes walk to Stanley Park or to the Westin where you can catch the bus to Capilano. It's a 40 minute walk to Gastown. The apartment building is tidy, if a bit of an older vintage. The room has a little cafe table and lots of shelves and a closet. The bed is new and very comfortable. Peter is a very kind, thoughtful and helpful host, and he is very communicative. He answered all my questions and was very generous with his space and time. I would recommend Peter highly for individuals and couples travelling to Vancouver!
