Neighbourhood: Vancouver’s Crosstown neighborhood is a centrally located area that lies just east of the city’s downtown core. It is a vibrant, evolving district that is bordered by the Downtown Eastside to the east, the financial and entertainment districts to the west, and historic areas like Gastown to the north. Crosstown is known for its mix of residential spaces, office buildings, and industrial heritage, making it a blend of old and new. For visitors, Crosstown offers a unique glimpse into the city’s urban development and its proximity to key attractions. It's just a short walk from the bustling shops, restaurants, and bars of downtown Vancouver, while still being adjacent to the more diverse and often gritty Eastside. The Eastside is home to areas like the Downtown Eastside (DTES), which has its own complex history and character, marked by a mix of social challenges and vibrant community arts. Crosstown's location makes it convenient for visitors to explore both the polished side of Vancouver and its more raw, authentic neighborhoods. It’s a great spot for those looking to experience the heart of Vancouver’s transformation and get a feel for its diverse urban landscape. Additionally, the area is well-served by public transit, making it easy to venture to nearby neighborhoods or the waterfront. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 690 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Long-term renters welcome Host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Tue interior is well laid out and contains everything needed for a extremely pleasant stay.The apartment is well within walking distance to so many great downtown spots. On the edge of Chinatown and steps away from BC Place. ##### Lorne E.

It’s in a safe building but the neighborhood is a little sketchy. There are great local restaurants but if you walk two blocks you’re in Gastown, which is fun. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael P.

Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great apartment Location is perfect for exploring Gas Town, China Town and the Waterfront. It's a pity that the area has been taken over by the homeless community. Having said that we were there for 4 nights and saw no trouble. ##### Michael P.

Has everything you will need. Marian was very easy to deal with and communicated promptly. The one down side is that the area is a pretty rough area of downtown, but we knew that. Underground secure - and free - parking. Lots of great restaurants, coffee shops etc in neighbourhood. Close to theatres, Rogers Arena. ##### John L. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marilyn M. Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Convenient to Cruise Port Unit was very clean and nicely decorated. It was somewhat tight for 3 adults seeking separate sleep arrangements. It was an easy walk to restaurants and the cruise port. The security on the building was good, as it had to be given the area was a little sketchy with homeless people and druggies. The access info needs to be more explicit, as we had a difficult time getting in the unit. Owner responded quickly to our call for help. ##### Marilyn M. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ines M. Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Excellent apartment in a drug area We had a great time and enjoyed the apartment and the terrace very much. But leaving the front door was always a bit scary as there were so many drug addicts crawling on the street. Nothing happened but it was always a bad feeling to pass them. ##### Ines M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara W. Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Good location for Cruise from Vancouver This property is close to the Canada cruise port in Vancouver, BC. The area has some nice places to eat and a drug store very close, which we found we needed. The rental property's cost was reasonable for the location. The Balcony was very nice, but the screen door needs repair. We only stayed one night, and it was tight for four people. The property is a studio apartment, with limited separation of the bedroom from the rest of the apartment. The owner provided scented toiletries. Our primary concern was entering the property. We were not able to get into the property. Anyone entering for the first time must be buzzed in, activating the door and the elevator. We arrived at about 7:15 pm and were left standing on the sidewalk (which was quite narrow for 4 people with luggage) for a substantial amount of time because there was no one to buzz us into the property. We attempted to call, e-mail, and text the owner unsuccessfully. One of the residents was kind enough to let us wait in the lobby. Finally, we were able to reach her through VRBO, and all of this was after traveling since 3 am. The residents of the building were extremely kind, helpful, and sympathetic to our situation and did their best to assist us. I strongly recommend that the owner provide detailed instructions regarding accessing the unit and a backup plan if they are not available to buzz the renter into the building. We feel this property would be good for a single or a couple. ##### Barbara W. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pierre P.
