Pros:
- Very walkable location to most of downtown
- Lots of restaurants nearby
- Host was quick to respond
Cons:
- Noise: Hands down the noisiest Airbnb I've ever stayed in. The windows have almost zero sound-insulation, and the apartment is right next to both a construction site and a concert venue. Loud drilling during the day, loud music during the night.
- The Granville strip seems to be a preferred gathering spot for Vancouver's homeless
- *Only if you have lots of luggage* The contactless check-in is a key locker at a 7/11 a few minutes walk from the apartment, not so convenient if you're clumsily lugging around a bunch of luggage.
