Amazing location in Gastown. The space is just like the photos - huge open space with the kitchen, living area and dining table. It was a convenient location for coffee (right downstairs!), breakfast (right across the street!), dinner, the seabus, the train to the airport, etc. The kitchen was clean and well stocked to make a basic meal, but I can't imagine many people will do that here with so many restaurants. Beautiful roof deck. Quiet building with elevator (stairs to the elevator mean it might not be wheelchair accessible).

A few things to note:
- The two bedrooms have open ceilings - the walls do not go to the ceiling. This wasn't a huge deal for us, but all of the concrete in the space does mean that sound will travel at night.

- The location in Gastown is very convenient, but the loft doesn't have air conditioning and you'll probably find yourself opening the windows all summer. The street below is VERY loud at night. Not just regular street noise, but shouting people and music etc. We were expecting some noise but it was a bit louder than we expected.

- We only had one set of keys, which was a real pain. We encouraged Alexander to supply at least two sets in the future.

- Could use a few towels, and maybe even a few beach towels in the summer. Pillows and beds were passable, but I'd probably expect better pillows for this level of a rental price.

- We were there in the hottest two weeks of the summer, and the loft was definitely too warm at night. This won't be an issue for 99% of the year but if you're there in the summer, you might want to request some fans.

All in all - we did love the stay and would recommend it!
