Joni's place is exactly as described. Very close walking proximity to the Gastown District. We did discover if you go the posited direction, the neighborhood gets a little seedy, but not too bad. There is a Nester's Grocery store and a London drug store a couple blocks away. The apartment had a tendency to get warm, but was quickly fixed by using the air conditioner that was provided. There is a washer and dryer inside the apartment. Great place, great communication. I would totally recommend.
