We used Ken's apartment for a weekend stay in Vancouver. Though the stay was cut short because of an impending snow storm, we'll be sure to use his listing again! As others have said, the neighborhood can look a little rough but the building and parking garage are both extremely safe and we didn't have any issues walking around the area. Ken's apartment was beautiful, clean, and even more spacious than we thought it would be. The bed is very comfortable (as is the couch) and the bathroom is a dream. Ken's recommendations for the area were spot on and we'll be back to explore some more (maybe in the summer with no threat of snow)! Make sure you check out Mello for some delicious donuts and Kozak for some deeeelicious Ukranian food.
