The apartment is as shown in the photos. Very clean and secure. The area is convenient and very central but there is a nightclub 2 doors away which is very noisy at weekends until very late. There is also a large homeless problem in Vancouver and many homeless people congregate in the road outside the apartment and in the adjacent street. They are not threatening, it is just so sad to see so many people in dire need of help in this very wealthly city.
