Wonderful place, that is an iconic Gastown experience. The apartment is very fun and one of the more interesting styles you'll find in the city. Very modern, w/ some eclectic decorations, but stylish. The showers are a great touch, and this was a good spot to work remote from. I will say the projector was fun, but a little difficult to get working. The building as well is quite modern with a nice courtyard and kind neighbors.
Bryan was a perfect host who stayed on top of communication, and helped us pay for a parking spot in the building! Incredibly kind & super convenient to connect us with his neighbor on that. If you're looking for other options, there are quite a bit of EasyPark spots nearby.
For anyone who's familiar with Vancouver, you'll know that Gastown can be rough around the edges, and this area is definitely that. I wouldn't say it's a great spot for families, or those unfamiliar living in cities. However, you right next to some of the most iconic Gastown restaurants and locations. Assuming you are looking to explore the city, this is a great jumping off point to see the most historic neighborhood in Vancouver. Also, despite the grungy environment and "troubled" locals, we did feel quite safe as people generally kept to themselves.
All in all, I'd highly recommend this place to those looking to spend time in Gastown. It's not perfect for everyone, but for those who are looking to explore, have an open mind, and have a comfortable yet unique experience, this is the place for you.
