To Rent Or Not To Rent In Vancouver For 2010
To Rent Or Not To Rent In Vancouver For 2010 Olympics
Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver are quickly approaching and Olympic tickets are currently on sale in different countries. As tickets are being purchased more and more people around the globe are starting to actively plan their trips to Vancouver . One of the most important aspects of the trip is accommodation. Finding a perfect place to stay in Vancouver can be a challenge but it is not impossible.
If you would call any of the hotels in Downtown Vancouver today and ask them about the availability of rooms for 2010 Olympics you would hear one of the two standard responses: 1 everything is booked out to organizations or corporate clients; or 2 there might be some rooms available in March after Vancouver Olympic Committee decides how many rooms they are booking.
While you might want to wait until later in the year to see what becomes available I would not count on easily finding rooms in any of the hotels in Vancouver . Even if you get lucky it will take you awhile and prices might be 23 times higher than regular rates during the same nonOlympic period. So what is your alternative?
There are several companies that advertise private vacation rental properties for Vancouver Winter Olympics. We conducted research among several such companies to get an average price for various types of properties in different parts of Greater Vancouver area.

Now what are the next steps? First of all you will need to decide what part of the city would be the best for you. This will depend on the type of events that you are planning to attend. There are several Olympic venues that are located in different parts of Greater Vancouver or even in Whistler. For example if you are interested in Opening and Closing Ceremonies you will look in Downtown area but if you are interested in speed skating you might want to consider Richmond .
Second decide on your budget and stick to it. If you are coming for a week extra 50100 per day will add up quickly.
And lastly have fun and enjoy Vancouver ! It is one of the best cities in the world.
