If you are looking for a more local/neighborhood orientated accommodation rather than the fast paced downtown hotel/apartment style experience, Take this!
Lovely Airbnb, Not far from downtown ($10 Cab ride) Brewery on the top of the street (main road) to get your vacation started before heading to town and cafe/small mart right behind the house and further south the street
Just as the photos, you will be pleasantly surprised to see it looks exactly the same as displayed. If you are Visiting Vancouver in the summer keep in mind that its not always warm, so the first thing you might be looking for in this place is an AC. I learnt most places do not have an AC system but this airbnb gets good ventilation since its cool at night in VR. There are also fans in each room. Just open the windows, I'm sure you know how that works people
Nice bathroom also!
Yes close proximity to the very interesting East Hastings drugged streets but its fine & safe!! Being a tourist/foreigner it will be very intimidating, but local advice is great. Paige was very straight forward about it and she tells you all about getting around her neighborhood so do not worry! If you don't want to see all that just take the bus that's all! Great location to start a jog to the sea wall and back!
All in All Great host & I recommend!
