Would rate this particular spot average. East Hastings Street is notorious for poverty and has a substantial homeless population . It was a saddening site to see so many individuals struggling without food, water, or shelter. Personally I had no concerns for my safety and felt secure, but everyone will have their own comfort level. I would just keep in mind this is the neighborhood you will be staying at. As far as the apartment complex itself the only constructive criticism I have is the air conditioning (AC) and parking space. The garage is in a locked confined area which is nice, but If you have a SUV or larger vehicle this will be a compressed squeeze due to the parking space being on the end next to a large column against the concrete wall. There is no working AC in the room just a fan for cool air. Positive notes would be the host was helpful and answered all questions. The room was clean, and the bed slept two comfortably.
