All I can say is....”your search for the perfect place to stay in Vancouver should stop here!” This by far has been one of my best Airbnb experiences. The pictures are accurate. This loft is absolutely spotless, like new. Every necessary item to live comfortably was provided. I lived the no shoe policy because that’s how we live anyway. Michael was the perfect host. He responded quickly to our questions and was helpful in making suggestions about things to do. Plus he is your typical Canadian....very very kind and friendly.. The views of downtown Vancouver are breathtaking! There are two markets within yards of the property to shop for whatever you may need. Shopping is abundant within walking distance. Restaurants and night life right there within reach. It’s like this loft is perfectly set “smack dab” in the center of everything. We actually rented a car but because everything was so conveniently located AND we love to walk, we returned the rental after a couple of days (we were there for 6 days). I was traveling with my 16 year old daughter and we felt very safe in this area. Even walking to local places at night. This may all sound TOO good to be true....well, it was really amazing. What would I have liked to change or improve? I would have planned to stay 2 weeks rather than 1...and brought an extra suitcase to fit my Vancouver “finds”!
