Staying at Patrick’s place was absolutely perfect for us! It was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed for our 5 night stay. Located on the edge of Chinatown, it was easy to get around downtown via bus, hop on an aqua bus to explore False Creek, or grab a train to head farther out. There was also a bunch of great restaurants and coffee shops within only a block or so!
Patrick was super communicative and accommodating. We went for my birthday and when I told him we were going to Forage for dinner, he must have called and had them send us a round of bubbles! I’ve never had a host who went so above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip.
Don’t be discouraged if you see comments about the homeless population in the area. The row of tents is a few blocks away from the Airbnb and completely avoidable if you just stay away from Hastings. We didn’t have to walk down the street for any reason while we were there and never felt uncomfortable.
