Kyle's place is right in the heart of Chinatown close to many great restaurants, tourist spots, and public transportation. We stayed here for 4 nights and had no issues with his apartment. It was very pleasant, clean and modern. It can get a little noisy at night if you keep the windows open but it does settle down. The apartment is close to E Hastings, but the people do not bother you directly. Although we only ran into Kyle once, he gave us great suggestions of things to do, eat/drink, and provided us with maps of the city. Highly recommend this place and will definitely return!
