Location, location, location!!! This downtown loft in Vancouver is within walking distance to all of the major attractions. We walked to Stanley Park, Gaslight District, West End, Canada Place, museums and restaurants galore. The downtown loft is located in a controlled access building. Across the street is a wonderful full service grocery store with wholesome take out foods. Around the corner is the Heirs Pears, a friendly coffee shop that serves many gluten free pastries and breakfast items. Or you can walk 1/2 block to Starbucks. Jane is a great host and made accommodations so we could check in early as we had to leave our cruise ship by 9:30 AM.
