Spacious Gastown Loft | 20ft ceiling
About this house rental
Situated in Vancouver, this attractive house for $386 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Stay in the heart of Vancouver's historical Gastown. This heritage building has been completely restored and custom designed. The loft has the perfect mix of elegance and comfortability; ideal for a couple's retreat, a family visit or a business trip. It is close to many great shops, and attractions as well as Vancouver Convention Centre and Rogers Arena. We are located in the entertainment district so there are acclaimed restaurants and bars all around us and weekends can get noisy from the street and music in the area. Other details to note: Depending on the season, we may not approve booking requests that leave a one night vacancy before or after the request. We also may not approve two night weekend bookings that are requested more than two weeks in advance, especially in the high season we require 3 night bookings on weekends. Minimum 4 night bookings are required during the Christmas/New Years holiday, unless approved otherwise. This unit is located on the second floor - there is no elevator. The loft stairs inside of the suite are steep and open. Not recommended for younger or unattended children, or people with mobility challenges. If you require a pack and play, we have one that must be reserved in advance and is based on availability. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in the area. We have access to a secure parking spot that is close by for guests that are interested. The cost is $20-25 per day depending on availability. If you are interested in this, please let us know as soon as possible as it does take time for us to arrange. Pets are not allowed unless authorized by the owner prior to check in. Service animals are only permitted when assisting someone with a disability. **It is better to send an inquiry rather than a booking request if you have any questions or have not read our details thoroughly**

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.

My spouse and I opted to stay here for a few days towards the end of our anniversary trip. I'm glad we did.
The property itself was incredibly unique in both decor and layout — the ability to turn the upstairs loft into its own separate, closed off room was a nice touch. The WiFi was decent, and the fans/air conditioning worked perfectly. The location was also excellent, situated above one of the best pubs I've ever visited and across the street from an incredible bakery/café.
Try the potato soup at the former and the pierogies at the latter. You won't regret doing so.
As for the hosts, they were very accommodating, allowing us to check in a bit early and responding promptly whenever we had concerns. On that note, we really only had two problems with our stay — both almost negligible.
First, I was a little disappointed that the Ethernet ports upstairs didn't work, but I assume that's something that will be addressed through further renovation.
Getting our bags into the suite was also a bit of a challenge, as the stairs leading up are relatively steep. That's more on us for packing too much, though.
Like I said, negligible and hardly enough to put a damper on things. The two of us immensely enjoyed our stay, and are already making plans to return in the summer.

10/10. Clean, surprisingly quiet for being above a bar/venue/club. Only place I will stay while in BC

Really great place! I was a little worried about unloading and parking, but it was so easy. Lots of space out front to pull in and unload and secure parking lots so close (just a 5 minute walk).
The place is so nice. It looks better than the pictures. Really beautiful master suite with sun tunnel that can be private or open to downstairs. Plenty of room for my 4 kids downstairs and a big TV to occupy their evenings. Nothing is fragile, so I wasn't worried about them messing anything up...and they were so nervous walking up and down the staircase that I knew noone would play on them anyways. And they loved the street view from the many windows.
They had everything we needed, very well stocked. Also, there's a convenience store right across the street for any small groceries we needed. Really great stay - my kids wanted to move in, lol. Thanks for everything!!

We were really happy in the apartment. It was nicely decorated and had everything necessary, even supplements for washing machine and dryer. Location was very centrally in a dead end street and even though there are lots of homeless people we always felt safe.

Great unique loft in the heart of Gastown. The host were great as they made sure everything was ready and comfortable for our stay.
Location is situated next to many great shops and restaurants though there are a lot of homeless within 1-2 blocks. Didn't feel unsafe but it's worth mentioning. Parking can get really expensive in this area.

My adult son and I had a great visit to Vancouver. The property was perfect for our stay. Located next door to restaurants, shops of Blood Alley/Water St. Ubers readily available. Only downside was proximity (1-2 blks) from a sizeable homeless population. At no time did we feel unsafe, though. We had a blast here and would recommend it for adults taking in the sights, food and drinks!

Clean place and a great location. The evenings could get a little noisy but the bedroom upstairs is quite soundproof. Loved the vibe of the place and its close proximity to everything!
5.0
Would stay here again for sure. Super clean, incredible architecture and a great location in gas town. The two beds are very comfortable, the fold out futon is a little small for two adults but was just fine for us. Split between six people, this place is a great deal.
