Tatiana was very quick to reply to our queries. It was our wedding anniversary trip and she kindly supplied us with great selections - for special celebration definitely check out Hawksworth. Within walking distance, great finds are Pidgin (wonderful cocktails and plates to share) and MEET (hip popular vegetarian). This loft is one street away from trendy Water St. with local boutiques, eats and coffee shops. The loft is in a VERY secure building however is in a transitional area. For those not comfortable in an urban environment with people living on the streets, then this might not be a good fit for you. That said, we never felt threatened and never approached by the street people. The loft itself is cool, hip and filled with great eclectic art. Its open, airy and lots of separate spaces to sit. Kitchen is great for cooks! TIP: light switch for kitchen is in the pantry. Bed is super comfy and loved the walk in shower. We loved walking down to the local park along the water and watched a beautiful sunset over the downtown skyline. This was the perfect place for us to chill, experience living local and eat/drink very well. Would definitely return on our next trip back to Vancouver BC! Thank you T!
