This location is absolutely GREAT for getting around the Vancouver area. Ryan's home is stylishly set up yet very, very comfortable. Could hear no street or city noise once inside.
Ryan as a host is amazing - one of the best we have enjoyed in about 25 Airbnb stays (or other rental type companies). He is super responsive, does what he says, gives great suggestions, and makes himself available if needed. He even has a basket of snacks on the counter for your stay.
The area his home is in makes it easy to get to Gastown which is a super cool area to walk and shop and drink and eat. The surrounding area has the coolest coffee shop (Revolver) for true, true coffee lovers (do not go there expecting fancied up lattes and machiatos). Plus there is Pure Break which is THE BEST bakery EVER in my life to visit. The T&T market right at the corner of the street this unit is on is one of the most amazing oriental markets I have ever shopped.
Overall one of the nicest and well maintained Airbnb's we have visited.
