If you want to stay in Gastown, then Coco’s place is perfect. The apartment is great, very central, close to all the bars/restaurant, train station etc... The appartement is quite nice and the bedding is very comfortable. The loft is actually larger than what we expected from the pictures. We had read all the reviews before to book, and we would like to address the « unsafe » situation in the street. At no time we have felt insecure nor in danger, but Vancouver suffers from an important homeless and drug issue and the side effects from that can be seen in some neighbourhoods. Gastown being super trendy and an old industrial part of the city, an important concentration of homeless people can be seen around. They are neither dangerous and are part of Vancouver. No-one, and certainly not Coco, can do anything to that. So again, I would really recommend this flat and location as you will be in the trendiest part of the city and discover the real Vancouver.
