Central location, convenient for Gastown, Chinatown, but be mindful of the nature of the surrounding area though. A couple of blocks away is a very rough and notorious area. Plan your outings accordingly, and like any major city, mind how you go. The condo itself is very bright and sunny. Early morning light is great if you are keen to rise early as we were. Air conditioners work well but mostly just service the room you are in. Wasn't really an issue for us as, we did not spend a great deal of time inside on a beautiful summer day. Convenient underground parking - having a small car is a bonus as the stall is very tight. Overall a good stay, and I would stay again if I found myself in Vancouver again.
