In Vancouver, British Columbia, a vacation can easily combine an urban getaway with an outdoor break – especially if you linger in one of the many extended-stay rentals. This dense and walkable West Coast city in Canada is rimmed by waterfront paths, while Stanley Park is everyone’s favorite bonus backyard. Whether you visit to explore Gastown or nearby Grouse Mountain, there’s a hearty collection of vacation apartments available, ranging from private luxury lodgings to aparthotel-style suites.
