We stayed in Vancouver for a week and really enjoyed the apartment. It’s as cool as it looks in the pictures and we liked the record player and guitar especially! Check in was smooth and the addition of freshly ground coffee each morning was perfect.
Whilst the location is great for getting to many of Vancouvers main attractions, it is worth noting that the area is close to lots of homeless and you will see drug use from the apartment in the alley. We were quite shocked and surprised on our first walk about the area. After which we decided to taxi to and from the apartment unless going somewhere really close. However the apartment is great, it’s really secure and we never felt unsafe in the property. There are some amazing restaurants, cafes, bars and shops etc nearby, so whether this impacts your stay will likely depend on how familiar you are to seeing this in your every day life.
