If you want to stay in the heart of it all, this is a perfect location to explore Vancouver. We had our dog and there’s a dog park just a couple blocks away. The apartment was very quiet, despite being in the middle of the city. Note there is currently construction taking place, and it did start at 7am during the Monday of our stay (but not on the weekend). Free parking is a perk but we ended up not using our car during our stay.
