This was a nice place to call "home base" for my 2 day trip to Vancouver. I had been to Vancouver before, but never spent much time over in East Vancouver - so it was a nice way to explore a new part of the city. Few good places to walk to from the loft, which were pointed out by the host. Street parking was a definite plus, nice to not have to worry about that. Only about a 10 minute drive to downtown Vancouver/Stanley Park, so getting around was pretty easy.

Beautiful view from the loft! Loved seeing the mountains and all the boats. Only slight downside were the trains and trucks on the loading docks across the way were a bit noisy in the morning. But I must say if you are going to get up early and explore the city like I did, this won't be much of an issue at all. It was also a lot quieter on the weekend compared to weekdays (which makes sense).
