This was a great location and value for my groups trip to Vancouver. The house was perfect for my groups needs, although we were truthfully out exploring Vancouver most of the time. We walked everywhere during most of our stay, and the walk to Stadium, Gas town, China town, science museum is probably about 15-20 minutes. The walk to Granville Island Publik Market was close to an hour. Most paths we took felt safe, but we were normally walking around as a group. There was an area near the overpass we started calling needle alley, and a pretty big homeless tent city population somewhere on the East side of Gastown/Chinatown (Keefer street was was our normal route).
The host was responsive to my requests and provided us a list of some of their favorite restaurants, etc. They also accommodated an early checking which was greatly appreciated. Would stay again!
