This is a lovely, tastefully-decorated apartment in a nice hotel/condo building. The neighbors there are generally pretty quiet — just the usual urban dwelling noises as expected in a downtown apartment. The building is centrally-located and walkable to many of downtown Vancouver's delightful restaurants (I recommend Chambar). There's a grocery store conveniently located in the same building, a liquor store around the corner, and Cafe Medina downstairs if you can get a reservation. I enjoyed having the gym nearly to myself most mornings. Viviena is great — one of the most responsive and helpful Airbnb hosts I've ever met.
