Good and bad. I hate to mention the bad, because it relates to the neighbourhood and is mostly outside of Le's control. Not everyone would be bothered by this, but I wish I knew in advance.
The good: this studio apartment was spotlessly clean in a nice modern building; communication with Li was great (including a phone call when we had trouble opening the door); the bed was comfortable; the view is very nice (including sunrise); and the location is very walkable with easy access to downtown, Chinatown and old town. Lots to see and do in the area.
The bad: no onsite parking. There are many mentally disordered and drug addicted people lingering in the immediate vicinity of the building. Two men tried to get into the building as we were unpacking our car at the front door (we had to pull the door closed while they pulled on the outside). The walkway to the Johnson Street Parkade was also nerve wracking - with several unpredictable people sitting on the concrete surrounded by garbage. A strung-out man was yelling and flailing around in that lane at night (we were 11 floors up - but still a troubling sight).
Unease about the neighbourhood is aggravated because parking is off site in a smelly parkade a block away. Unloading and packing our car in front of the building (without a loading zone) was stressful with street people watching us. If the suite came with a parking spot in the building - all of this would be avoided. (Parking was $14 per day and we were able to download and pay each day on the parking app. We parked on the top floor of the parkade where we could see our car from the suite's balcony). Another bad: we woke to the sound of loud sirens near the building on two of three nights (we had the window open).
This is an urban location and, sadly, street disorder seems to come with the territory. I should say that we felt safe once we were in the suite. But we had a terrible first impression of the neighbourhood. As mentioned, not everyone would be bothered by the area: the question is whether the convenience of the location outweighs what is happening on the street outside. For us, we would stay here again - but only if the suite included secure onsite parking with a dry safe place to unload our car.
