Kristy's loft is an amazing place to stay, perfect for exploring Vancouver.
I can highly recommend it, also for a family with kids.
We were warmly greeted and had a good introduction to the loft and the area.
One thing for families to keep in mind is that the loft sits in the middle of Gastown with its really great and cool sides, but also with it's not to nice sides.
Still we felt safe and the whole house is a really cool place with everything close by!
