it's a superb value for a downtown suite, close to trendy gastown, and the skytrain. the homeless and drug problem of vancouver is in the area, but I never felt unsafe. the host responds immediately and is very helpful in all regards. for a full suite with TV, laundry, and other amenities, it's an outstanding value. it's also very quiet at night, so great for travelers who want to be close to the city as well as transportation. I wouldn't even hesitate to recommend this great place!
