This place could work for some but it did not work for us. In fact the group before us had left a nice letter of appreciation. It was our 3rd airbnb in Vancouver and was the most expensive, the most cramped, easily the most noisy including the passing above ground metro, loud construction outside when we were there in May 2019 and with a host who greeted us more or less like she could not be bothered to stand up or welcome us with a smile, glued to the tv when we arrived. Maybe she was tired or had had a rough day, or was stoned or with a flue or we were just bad-tripping but an immediate sense of discomfort entered and was intensified after I asked if she could turn down the tv. Yes the art decor was kind of cool but it was totally secondary if that in the face of the discomfort. The neighborhood has nice restaurants but I did not enjoy it as much as other areas we had stayed in Vancouver. Outside of the poor beginnings, the cost simply did not reflect in my experience in Vancouver the value and should have been about 70% of what it was. It pains me a bit to give a mediocre review (something I almost never do) but I feel it can be helpful for both the host and future participants.
