It really depends what you’re looking for. I was say anywhere in the downtown core is great. The downtown core is pretty small and very walkable (and there’s lots of transit / Skytrain available)
Main street and Hastings street is very sketchy, but it’s only a very small area. For example, west of Hastings and Cambie is ok and it gets nicer as you go West.
If you’re into clubbing, Granville street downtown is the strip with all the clubs, so you might want to stay near there.
If you let me know what kind of stuff you’re interested in, I can give you a better idea.

My travel buddy has the beginnings of our sight-seeing list at her work, so I don’t have access to that till tomorrow. But, I know we’re still deciding on our itinerary (and open to suggestions there too), and we will have a rental car. I’ve got a price limit of no more that @ $170CAD per night. When I searched Travelocity the other day, most of what was coming up was in the Richmond/Airport areas.
I have arthritic knees, so I can do a good bit of leisurely walking around, but any kind of strenuous hikes, etc, are out. (Hence why I always travel with a rental car to get around. ;) ) We both love taking photos, at least 1 trip to a beach is mandatory, and I know we’re planning on the aquarium. Mostly we just love to explore new cities.

I am a seasoned traveller and fell on Hastings Street, whilst taking my then teenage daughter on a Canadian tour! I have to say that I havent seen so many prostitues or drugs openly on sale in any other european capital, where the atmosphere was so threatening! We were both pleased to put this dire place behind us!
