This house is actually off the street, in a safe neighborhood. You drive to your parking spot via an alley. Partly because of this, even though you're in the city, it is very quiet at night. You are about 15 minutes to downtown. FYI Downtown lodging (like in Gastown and Little Italy) are underneath the airplane flight path to the airport.
The house is an older house that was remodeled. It has some minor imperfections like doors are hard to close. But my per day rental cost was way cheaper than any hotel that I could find, and it's a nice functional house in a safe and quiet location, so I can't complaint.
