Gastown house rentals

The Gastown loft worked well for our family of 5 whilst in Vancouver. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go from the location. The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed. Turning right when exiting apartment takes you to the Gastown strip which we loved, turning left provides an in-your-face experience of the openly drug using homeless. We were aware of the problem before arriving, but probably worse than expected. If you’re sensitive, then the location is not for you. We had no issues with the homeless, in fact one man with all his gear out on the door step was quite apologetic when I asked him to mind out with us coming through. We definitely had no regrets staying there and our teenage kids said they really enjoyed it.

Our family of four (kids 13 and 14) absolutely loved staying at Mark and Jo’s place. The communication throughout the 6+ months prior to our arrival was always super prompt, informative and friendly. Mark met us upon arrival to show us around and their place has everything you could possibly need. It is exactly as per the photos (if anything, even better). The neighbourhood is beautiful, quiet and safe but also a very close walk to lots of restaurants, shops, grocery store, and the train station. Buses were easily accessible and we walked to and from downtown several times. Mark and Jo were super helpful with recommendations and answering our questions (even about who and how much to tip 😂) The beds were super comfy, the home warm and dry. Kitchen was full stocked with everything you may need, laundry was great (loved the felt dryer balls!) and even had a great coffee maker with all supplies! We visited 31 Dec to 4 Jan and never heard another neighbour and had the bonus of snow, festive lights and even did the Polar Bear Dip on NY day! Don’t think twice - book this awesome Airbnb! We certainly hope to again!
