Al and Shirley's "Laneway" is an amazing place to stay in Vancouver.
As the old saying goes, it's exactly what the "doctor ordered" - great location, fantastic communication (thanks Shirley) and central - to everything Vancouver.
Just walk up to Main, and take advantage of great places to eat and drink. If you like unique gifts and treasures, the area surrounding "the Laneway" offers up a lot of unique "retail therapy options." While Queen Elizabeth Park is much smaller than Stanley Park, it really is a refuge and a delight to enjoy.
Shirley and Al, I think have covered all the bases in their new "Laneway" - making it a "real home away from home." Overall 11/10.
