Found the Auld Dublin after some careful searching for a nice place for a five-day stay in Vancouver. I can't imagine any better choice. The house is located in an upscale residential neighborhood just two doors down from Oak Street. The area is quiet, tho' on-street parking gets a little tight when the Jewish center across the street has a function. The house itself is, shall we say, mature--the floors and stairs creak a little, but it's quite solid and exquisite in decor, with wainscxotting and fine art prints. The traveler should know that you must climb stairs here--there's a flight up to the entrance, and another to the bedrooms. Also the rooms are a bit small and storage is limited--we were in the blue room, facing the street with a view of the mountains, and it was comfortable but, except for a chifforobe for hanging, there are only a few small drawers in the desk and a cabinet in the en-suite bath. Also note that the bedroom itself is in a dormer, and the roof over the bath makes the cieling there lower and partly slanted--the door to the bath is 6 feet tall (or is that Canadian, two meters?) and it was no hardship for me but any taller man will need to watch his head. I offer these observations for information only, not as criticism--I was entirely comfortable and deligfhted while staying here. The best part is the proprietor and hostess, Helen, whose pleasant Irish personality brightens the day. Every morning starts with breakfast, and you may opt for cold cereal if you prefer, but Helen is ready to make up a hot meal for you. She'll take requests but I fell in love with her standard one. Sit down to a bowl of fruit, diced melon and berries that she buys from a little grocer nearby who must get them fresh from local growers; also some juice and a carafe of fine coffee. In a few minutres Helen will bring a plate of excellent scrambled eggs distinguished with a little fresh chive, some tasty home fried potatoes, a half English muffin toasted, a portion of ham or bacon, and several button mushrooms sliced and sauteed precisely to the point of maximum flavor. More toast on request.It's two days later and I am still wanting that breakfast again! One more selling point: just a half-dozen blocks to the east is the commercial district of Cambie Street, and we suspect that we could spend the rest of our lives there and want for nothing--there are quite a few outstanding restaurants there along with just about any other type of shop you might need. If you're enjoying the parlor in the evening, Helen might join you for wine and conversation--another pleasant moment in the day. If we ever return to Vancouver, we'll want to stay here again!…
