My family had an excellent time in Vancouver at Hillary's place. Hillary was very helpful, even helped us find babysitting even though she was out of the country! The apartment was well-equipped with toys for kids and a pack and play. The location is great because it's not in downtown but it's close enough to easier get their in 10 minutes by car. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance along with a nice park with a playground. Would definitely recommend, especially for a family!
