For sporting enthusiasts Vancouver is definitely a place to be. The city offers year round activities from skiing & snow boarding in the winter time to canoeing & mountain biking in the summer. For those more into watching sports than playing- the city is famous for its ice hockey teams & is even co-hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics. If sports are not your thing the city’s picturesque surroundings are a breath of fresh air- why not experience a whale watching boat trip or for something livelier in the evening check out the new up & coming entertainment district of Granville Street. Whether its culture or sporting action, Vancouver is a real winner.

“ Really great guest house. Janine and Ken were great who own the place. it was comfortable and chilled out. It\'s in a great location and easy for everything central with GasTown about 2 blocks away which was great as well. Would stay there again!
