I can't say enough good things about the location of this airbnb. If your goal is to hit a bunch of the tourist destinations in town, you're about a 30 minute walk from most of them (Gastown, Chinatown, Stanley Park, Kitsilano Beach, West End, etc). That said, it is right downtown, so it is noisy with traffic sounds. The bedrooms are quite small, but the beds are comfortable. It was really nice to have dishwasher, microwave, and a full kitchen for our week stay. The bnb as a whole is clean but spartan. I would recommend this airbnb!
