Had the apartment for 2 weeks. The place is only 10 mn from Waterfront Station and Gastown which is so convenient. I could go out and in from the center of Vancouver easily in 30 mn walk (I'm a big walker though).
As the description explained, the area is full of drug addicts but as a woman alone, I never had issues even when I walked home at 1 am.
I really enjoyed staying there. The apartment was fully equipped and the owners were so welcoming.
