Ok space for 3 or 4, shorter stays, but noisy
Pros: space ok for 3 or 4, nice view; Costco, asian grocery, liquor store, Arena and BC place across the street (can get noisy concert nights), many restos on Abbott; Cons: train noise very high and continuous. As far as the condo, the space is adequate for 3 or 4, but the sofa in the living room is hard and sleeps 1 (the back folds down leaves a bar at 2/3 so another adult would be difficult). Kitchen is good and usable. There are lots of vrbo'ers in the building and some long term residents made strong comments to us in elevator. As far as noise, inside the building we had no problem. It's a busy area day and night and some homeless here and there, it's on the edge of Chinatown. Suggestions to host(s): it would be good to have a sliding safety latch inside besides the combination lock because anyone with the code could open it. Host communication was lacking and a bit confusing; more info and faster responses needed. Host Steve did not respond to my requests for check-in info 48 hours before arrival. I got worried, tried the phone number a couple of times and reached Brendan not Steve, who didn't know where Steve was, but was the co-host. He sorted things out, sent us the info right away, and was helpful during our stay, but this should all be spelled out in the instructions and less confusing. We stayed 9 nights, I think this location might be better suited to a shorter stay.
