Really nice place and a really easy base to get to Gastown and Downtown on the bus 4 and 7 pretty much out the front. So easy and convenient!!
By chance we ran into Patrick When we were leaving and waiting for a cab out front which ran very late. Patrick noticed we had been waiting for a while and when we told him how close we were to missing the bus our cab was meant to take us to he ran home a few blocks away and got his car keys and offered to take us. That was extremely kind and caring and not something you experience often, he was very genuinely concerned we would miss our bus. We were so appreciative of this.
A note worth mentioning though that we were shocked hasn't been mentioned before in reviews is about the walk to Gastown or Downtown. It's quite close so we walked it on the first day along Powell St and found ourselves amongst a large concentration of homeless and multiple very noticeably drug people, with no one else in sight. We noticed the people around us started to change to that, and the shops all had bars on windows and doors, like it was excessive and we felt very unsafe once we got right into it. No one bothered us or anything but we feel if they did there wouldn't have been anyone around to help because it was very much only the people that lived there in tents around Oppenheimer Park. When we got to Gastown and got talking to a shop keeper and he asked where we were staying it came up and he said do not go back through there and that no one ever walks that street. The Airbnb location felt fine though it's on the other side of it. We thought future stayers should note that so they aren't caught off guard like we were, especially being two young women.
Everyone in the loft complex was so friendly too. The lift is a little broken and takes minutes to close and everyone we ended up in there waiting with was so friendly and chatty.
