Bright Corner Condo in Olympic Village • Walk Everywhere, Downtown in Minutes

I am pleased to be hosting on Airbnb as I travel and am out of town often.

Neighbourhood:
My neighborhood is known as Olympic Village as this is where the athletes were housed during the 2010 Winter Olympics. I believe it really is the best location if you’re a tourist in my city. You will appreciate the close proximity to the waterside that goes on for many km and wraps all the way around downtown Vancouver... great for walking and running. There are so many great restaurants with cuisines from all over the world. This neighborhood is very well-known for the numerous micro-breweries that have become so popular amongst beer drinking enthusiasts. Please note that my home faces a Main Street with traffic, while the other side faces other residential buildings. There will be traffic noise if the windows are open. Once the windows are closed, there’s very little noise.

Getting around:
It is incredibly easy to get around in this neighbourhood and is perfect for walking, running/jogging, and cycling (bike rental shops are not too far to access). The seawall has a designated bike lane, as do most of the streets in this area. It’s only a 15 min walk to downtown Vancouver. The skytrain is a 3 min walk away, which takes you into downtown in 5 min and direct to the airport in 30 minutes. 20-30 min drive to the local mountains. You can also take a short trip by aquabus to various parts of the city (the small colorful aquabuses can be seen in one of my photos). And if you want to venture out to other interesting locales, the skytrain is a great option, and I can tell you more about it and provide some ideas for day or afternoon outings.
