Patrick's East Van loft is a great place to stay and experience a different neighborhood in Vancouver. It was very easy to get to Gastown and the Waterfront via bus, but you have to be prepared with exact change. The loft was clean and modern, though doesn't come stocked with shampoo, laundry detergent, or those types of essentials so bring your own. You might also want to bring earplugs because the trains can screech by at 2:30am. The view is fantastic and the neighborhood has some gems that we were glad to experience.
