High rise Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to High rise Apartment on West Cordova Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Vancouver” feeling. This three-star property sits right in Gastown’s cobblestone heart, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic urban vibe — nothing fancy, but solid and unpretentious in a way that feels authentically Vancouver.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about staying in Gastown — you’re literally in the middle of everything that makes Vancouver interesting. Steam Clock is practically around the corner, and you can walk to Waterfront Station in about five minutes. The apartment sits on West Cordova, which means you’re close enough to hear the energy of the neighborhood but not right on top of the tourist chaos. I mean, couples seem to really get this location — there’s something romantic about wandering these historic streets together, especially in the evening when the gas lamps start glowing.

The Space

What you’re getting here is essentially a proper urban room setup that feels more like staying in someone’s well-appointed city place than a traditional hotel. The space has that lived-in comfort that three-star places do well when they’re not trying too hard. You know what I really appreciated? The fact that it doesn’t feel cramped despite being in such a dense part of the city. The windows actually give you decent views of the neighborhood, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase.

Practical Perks

One thing that surprised me — and this is huge if you’re driving — they actually have free private parking on site. In Gastown. I mean, do you know how rare that is? Most places around here either don’t have parking at all or charge you an arm and a leg for it. It’s one of those details that makes a real difference when you’re trying to explore the city without worrying about where to leave your car. Plus, having your own secure spot means you can actually use Vancouver as a base for day trips up to Whistler or out to the North Shore mountains.

Why Guests Love It

The 7.6 rating tells you this place delivers on what it promises without any pretense. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — just a solid, well-located spot that gets the fundamentals right. The couples who stay here seem to really connect with the neighborhood’s romantic, old-world charm, and honestly, I get it. There’s something special about being able to walk to great restaurants, browse the local galleries, and then come back to a comfortable space that feels like your own little Vancouver hideaway. The excellent location score of 9.4 isn’t just marketing speak — when you’re this close to everything worth seeing and doing, you really do save time and money on getting around the city.
