Peter's condo is a wonderful location in Chinatown/Stadium area.
Pros:
Walk to Gastown and Chinatown.
Walk to Stadium for hockey fans
3 min walk to Metro/SkyTrain
Across street from T&T Asian Market and some good cafes
Down street from excellent cafes (Paleo and Vegan too)
Other Pros:
Very clean and comfortable
Excellent views of the city - stunning at night
Cons:
None really. People talk about the homelessness situation in Gastown and the seediness in Chinatown at night, but the interesting thing about those areas are the homeless are really quite sweet. You need to be careful at night like in almost any big city, but my point is, the homeless in Vancouver have created a caring community and the majority of them are just trying to get by, they're not interested in hurting anyone.
To illustrate, here's an interesting YouTube clip of Vancouver Police Department Staff Sergeant Mark Horsley and Operation Wheelchair in the Downtown Eastside. “At the end of this deployment, I was ahead $24.75."
