This unit is beautiful, and nicely appointed, but it is good for visitors to know that it's on the edge of the Downtown Eastside (DTES- a place in Vancouever w a complex set of social issues: poverty, drug use, sex work-its not unsafe, really, but just good to know ahead this is where you are reserving a spot to stay). The apt complex is very secure, and the garage is good/helpful, but there was someone parked in the host's spot (white prius), and he didn't answer us until after 10 pm, and the resolution was to move our car to the street. Just frustrating. You might want to ask him to confirm that the unit's spot is available prior to booking.
