Walking distance from public transportation, and its a great spot if you’re wanting to experience Vancouver on foot. Minutes from Rogers and BC place if you’re going up for sports stuff. Literally across the street from the entrance to Chinatown and a train station. 5 minute walk to Yaletown. Ground floor of the building on the Main Street side houses The American and a number of great restaurants. The only caveat is the corner of Station and Prior, across the street from the entrance to the building. There is a pretty serious homeless situation in Vancouver, and for the most part that part of the population is particularly docile. There is a large makeshift shelter directly across from the entrance to the building. We came back to the building about 11 pm and observed a very aggressive homeless person, high on his drug of choice, yelling and acting out in the street. This behavior, as well as other homeless folks, continued on in to the night both nights. I’m a combat infantryman, so I’m a little more prepared than the average citizen should the occasion to defend myself would arise. Would strongly recommend that you travel in a group after dark in the neighborhood, and be prepared to see some interesting behavior. The house itself is very well maintained and comfortable. Definitely a high rating for that. Just be prepared to see some less than great aspects of humanity if you stay there.
