A question about this place:
I am going to be making my first visit to Vancouver later this summer (dates roughly Aug 3-10). I'm looking into booking a hotel now -- what parts of town would be best to stay in & what parts should I avoid getting a hotel room in?

Make a reservation for the hostel international, specifically at Jericho beach.

It’s a beautiful neighborhood with parking. Kitsilano in nearby as well as wreck beach & downtown (just to name a few) but mainly this is a beautiful area of town.

You don’t need to spend $170 a night to have a wonderful stay in Vancouver.
Don’t forget to have breakfast at Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe on 4th Street!

Unfortunately, a hostel isn’t an option this trip. Due to some medications, a private bathroom is an absolute must for me. I’ve taken note of the address though, and I’m going to check out other accomodations in that area.

I just added Sophie’s to my spreadsheet of “must do” things – thanks for the suggestion. :)
