We stayed in Vancouver for 5 extra days following a cruise, traveling with a toddler, and this place was perfect for us to have a great, low key time. Directly across from a park with a lake and playgrounds; didn’t seem to be a touristy area, which we really liked, but within walking distance to lots of food places, grocery, and the skyline for access to downtown/other parts of the city. The kitchen was well equipped such that we were able to walk to a local Safeway and buy groceries to cook and eat for the week. We also enjoyed walking around the lake in the mornings and evenings and the playgrounds and open space for the kiddo to run and burn off energy right outside. There is also a beach on the other side of the lake (short walk, maybe 0.3 miles away), which was closed while we were there unfortunately, but Colin provided so many great suggestions for things to do that we went to Jericho Beach for a day (about a 20-25 min cab ride away), and it was lovely (and thanks for having beach towels)! Other suggestions from the list we tried- a chill local beer garden and the science museum (via the skyline, very easy to catch). I felt like we got a good taste of Vancouver and this place felt like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend!
