Close to all main areas and only a 10 dollar taxi ride from the waterfront. All of Vancouver congregates on a hot sunny day and lots of vibrant restaurants for the evening not to mention wonderful sunsets - hard to leave!

English Bay is one of my favourite places in the world. You can dine at lovely restaurants right by the water or grab a cheap and satisfying falafel (lots of choices) while people watching and hanging out by the water. Jogs around English Bay and Stanley park are fantastic.
