If you want to explore Gastown AND have a fantastic space to hang out, this is the place and Lynne is a lovely host. Great design, high end finishes and absolutely immaculate. Plentiful linens, pillows, towels and locally made bath and beauty products. An Iron, laundry soap and misc. cleaning supplies are provided should you be staying for an extended period of time and like to keep things tidy. Floor to ceiling windows/slider open up to view of the city. Great boutiques and array of restaurants all walking distance. Reservations, highly recommended. L'Abattoir was unstuffy and great ambiance, Gringo is worth a 15-20 minute wait and naturally, we hit The Local. Gastown's population is diverse, as with any large city, especially if you're unfamiliar, use the buddy system at night. Things can change block to block and you will feel more comfortable doing so.
