Simba's place was great. I can't say enough good things about the space. It is immaculate and beautiful. The designated parking space in the alley is super convenient if you're bringing a car. The house is on a quiet street and is near the heart of the "brewery district". I was able to walk over to Luppolo (five minutes) which was excellent. Strathcona is a good, central spot to be in as its fairly close to downtown/Gastown, as well as the attractions north of the city. I can't speak to the proximity of public transit as I used my car all weekend. Excellent find - would 100% stay here again on future trips to Vancouver.
