Great location if you want to be downtown. Granville is right in the middle of all the nightlife and food. Even with all that action, there's a police station right downstairs so I never felt unsafe.
It was warm some days in the apartment where we felt like we had to open the window, but it's too noisy outside for that. The hosts helped us out with a fan so we could keep the window closed.
Good spot if you want to work remote. We thought internet speed was low when we booked but ended up working well for 2 software developers to work remotely for a few days doing debugging and video calls.
It's also surprisingly quiet here with all the stuff outside (as long as your window is closed). You'll hear muffled sirens once in a while but I was never bothered by neighbors or unruly people on the street.
Negatives:
- Parking is hard if you need a car, but bus and subway are close by if you can rely on those
- Bed can be uncomfortable but we ended up not minding since we were walking most of the day and fell asleep fast
Overall great place to act as a hub to explore Vancouver.
