The host was fantastic and communicated very well. She also accommodated us by providing a blender and high chair for our baby. However, in hindsight, I probably would have spent more money to stay in Coal Harbor or closer to where more restaurants and hip cafes are located. I felt very safe in the apartment, and the garage was a definite plus, but the amount of drug addicts/homeless on the walk to Gastown (literally just about 5 blocks) wasn’t pleasing. They aren’t dangerous, and there were certainly a lot of tourists and locals around, but it also left a sad and disgusted feeling that I didn’t particularly want to experience while on vacation.
