Jozi was an amazing host and helped out with our every needs. We were already in the area in another Airbnb and we had to check out of there at noon. Jozi met us at 11AM and let us transfer our bags over to her unit so we could travel around that day without all of our luggage in our car. She gave us a quick show of the unit and we left so she could have it cleaned.

The unit is beautiful. You can tell every piece of furniture and decoration was very well thought out. I loved everything about it; sitting at the breakfast table and looking out into vancouver with natural light flowing in, sitting on her couch and watching TV on my tablet, and sleeping in that very comfortable bed.

The area is great. I've previously stayed in the area before spending the 3 nights here, so I knew what to expect. For those of you seeing mixed reviews and wondering how the area is, don't worry. Gastown is largely being renovated, and so what you'll notice is areas of new, hipster bars and restaurants and then small areas with abandoned buildings and homeless people. Some of them ask for spare change, but if you just keep walking, they don't say anything more. You'll get the occasional man who walks down the street yelling very loudly, and you'll be unsure what or who he is yelling at (the answser is nothing and nobody). Like any location in the world, don't walk down dark, unlit alleys in the middle of the night, but as far as walking the streets go, I did it every night with no worries.
