A great place to be in…especially if you're visiting downtown Vancouver. Joshua is an awesome host…very responsive and supportive.
The unit is located close to the Chinatown station. Lots of cafes in the area, Costco retail around the block. In the beginning, one may feel a little insecure out on the streets in the area but nothing major to worry about. People were friendly and I did not have any issue during my 5-day stay.
As for the unit, it's nicely furnished. Lots of artificial lights and lamps inside. However, it did become a little too warm inside the house and with no provision of cooling, I literally had to keep the windows and the balcony door open to keep it pleasant.
The unit was thoroughly cleaned and felt hygienic, apart from the balcony area which could have been cleaner. The bed was comfortable, linen n towels were clean and of good quality. Couch in the living area was not amongst the best and might need more cushioning. WiFi was fast…I managed a lot of my internet work during my stay. Kudos to the host.
In short, a great place for solo/couple travellers…wouldn't really recommend for families due to small size of the unit and the not so family-friendly neighbourhood. But definitely served me well 😊😊.
