Great place, neighborhood has fallen on hard times
The apartment was really lovely with a nice balcony and one ample bedroom. The second ‘bedroom’, where our 17 year old stayed, was abut the size of a twin bed and had no ventilation. It was fine for one night but not ideal. The problem lies with issues beyond the control of the owner and I hate to mention it here and downgrade the rating, but feel obligated to share with possible renters the fentanyl crisis has landed in Vancouver, and this apartment is in the epicenter. I say this as a Portlander, no stranger to homelessness and the ravages of fentanyl. It was bad enough that we took an Uber home from a restaurant rather than walking the seven minutes’ trip to avoid literally dozens of street sleepers in the throes of extreme human misery, and dealers circling on bicycles like vultures. Really sad.

Very Convenient to Everything
Adorable one bedroom, very clean. Slept very well, easy to walk to restaurants or market. Also an easy taxi/Uber to the cruise dock or float plane dock. Best of all host is quick to answer questions and provide recommendations. Host also assisted us with storing luggage before checking in because of our crazy flight schedule. Very much appreciated!

Best VRBO Stay EVER
Our stay at Ruby’s Vancouver flat (just minutes away from port) before a cruise was absolutely fantastic. She gave exceptionally detailed directions for every single step of the stay, from check-in to check-out. When our train was delayed she remained awake in order to ensure we had room access, and was exceptionally communicative. The apartment is well-appointed and quite lovely. The secret bedroom off the kitchen was a great place for our teen to land for our stay. Views of the city are fantastic, and the balcony is the perfect place to eat breakfast before checking out the city. Nearby amenities (grocery, train access) make this a can’t-miss place to stay.

Neither Charming nor Romantic
My wife and I were looking forward to a romantic four days in Vancouver. The listing doesn't accurately capture the reality we experienced. BE AWARE, the neighborhood is ridden with drug-impaired and homeless folks roaming the streets and camping near the property entrance. Livingston Park, the "nature in close proximity" described in the listing, has been taken over by addicts and is unsuitable for enjoying nature, let alone walking your dog. From the property's lobby, we could see makeshift tents. Across the street, the Rexall Drug had windows boarded up from being busted. The "city views from every room" provides a bird's eye view of the dystopia below. After the first night, we decided to leave. We messaged the host to let her know we would depart and requested a refund for the remaining three nights. The host stated that homeless folks are "everywhere" and suggested we "give the place another night" because "as the policy states, there are no refunds available." After returning from breakfast only to find paramedics treating a drug victim directly behind our vehicle and human feces on the sidewalk, we would not stay a second night. After touring the city we realized the apartment is in one of the worst downtown neighborhoods. There are numerous less-priced dog-friendly four-star hotels with air conditioning in better neighborhoods. Overall, the apartment is adequate but overpriced given its location, 3-star furnishings and linens.

The property was very cute, clean, and had a beautiful view. We visited for a concert at Rogers Arena and found this to be a perfect location as it's right around the corner - a very easy walk. We also liked that this property came with a parking space. We were thankful that the building had security measures to get into the building as well as getting up to the apartment floor, considering the city was overrun with drug-addled people.
