This is tough because there are pros and cons about this location and hosts. Since I appreciate honest reviews I will share just the facts. The view is very nice, the beds are new and comfortable and showers work well. When we first checked in and got into the condo the cleaning crew was still there. They took another 30 minutes and unfortunately left before vacuuming the floors. The host did return much of our cleaning fee. The first night at the condo power went out in both bedrooms. We messaged the host and by the next morning the building manager had the power back on. Unfortunately the only light in one of the bedrooms still didn’t work and the bathroom only had one bulb working - the other one was out. I messaged the host and he came over later that day with the wrong size bulb. That’s the last we ever heard from him so we had a bedroom with no light and a bathroom with half a light. As for the location you are very close to the very cool Gastown and the beautiful seawall. Unfortunately there is active drug use as soon as you walk out the condo. We never felt afraid, We were never approached. But you must feel OK with this. Within a few blocks you are out of the drug area.
