This apt is so conveniently located to restaurants, Vancouver art gallery, and downtown Vancouver, it is also very close to Granville Island which was lovely to tour. The apt is clean, safe, and with a car parking spot, it was exactly what we needed for a short trip to Vancouver. While here- visit Breka bakery only a few blocks away- incredible baguettes and desserts. Check-in and check-out was an easy and flexible set up which made it nice not to have to be on time to meet our host for both. The apt, as might be expected in the downtown area is near a number of places that cater to more vulnerable populations, however, we walked all over & never felt unsafe. The apt has excellent security and a front desk person present at all times. For our family of four, it was an ideal place to stay . One thing to be aware of, getting into and out of the apt. requires a single shared key fob so it may be a challenge if you have a group who wants to sightsee separately but it worked for us.
