We had a nice stay. The unit has a great view of the water and mountains and a nice balcony and bedroom to enjoy it from. The building is secure and cool, and James' instructions were good. It's just a 10 minute ride to downtown Vancouver. There are some good stores very close by, such as an amazing cheese shop and a soup and sandwich place (Liquids & Solids). Also, the Hastings Sauna and Spa is just a couple blocks west, and is a must-do when staying in James' unit. It's squeaky clean, which might not be obvious from outside, and they do great massages and private saunas.
While obviously not the host's issue, the area on Hastings Rd from a few blocks west of this unit to almost downtown is overtaken by homeless on both sides of the street, and it's sad. Just use a rideshare, cab, public transit, or head over to a different route to bypass that area and there's no problem with your stay.
