Vancouver, a buzzing west coast seaport in British Columbia, is amongst Canada’s most populous and ethnically diverse cities. Nominated as one of the best places to live in North America (and the world) in Mercer’s 2016 Quality of Living survey; Vancouver offers travelers the world-class amenities of a fast-paced and sophisticated city. Just like the chic people of Vancouver, these sophisticated and minimalistic HomeAway and Vrbo vacation rentals will impress anyone who visits the cool city:
