My girlfriend and I headed to Vancouver to see the Women's World Cup match between the U.S. and Nigeria, so we needed a place to stay near the stadium with easy access to the airport. Laule and her son (Puya) were gracious and great hosts, adjusting to our flight delays to welcome us in just before midnight. We slept in because of the late arrival and woke up to a lovely breakfast waiting for us in the morning. The location was perfect (walking distance to the waterfront, restaurants and the stadium), my only regret was having to leave early on Wednesday to catch a flight home before saying goodbye. If great views, location and a great host are on your list, then Laule and her place fits the bill.
