We had a lovely stay at Shirley and Alan's place. It's very clean, spacious, and easy to get around town on the bus from their house. Main St. is full of great restaurants and little shops, and there's a grocery store and easy two blocks away. Shirley was generous with her time, accommodating our late arrival on the train AND giving us a lift back to the train station when we departed in the pouring rain. (We were both sick with colds and must've looked pretty pathetic!) We were grateful to have such a good home base for our first trip to Vancouver.
