Nolan’s place has an amazing view of the water & mountains; what more can you ask for! He had the cutest decor throughout his place that provides such good vibes! The little balcony is a perfect outdoor space and is great for morning coffee (which Nolan has and is fantastic)! Being close to East Hastings provided some worry, but Nolan has a great binder with some insight! While there, to avoid the homeless area, we just walked one block up to Pender and walked along this street in and out of town and used the bus along this street too! Gastown has AMAZING food! We are vegan and felt this was a mecca of amazing vegan options! Nolan reached out to ensure we had everything we needed and was extremely kind and responsive! For our first stay in Vancouver we were pleasantly surprised with the ease of finding things and the comfort of Nolan’s place!
