    I’ve stayed in lots of B&Bs in the USA but this was my first experience here at home on the West Coast of Canada. And it was so WONDERFUL - now I’m wondering why I bother traveling away for holidays. I stayed in the Sailor’s room, which is one of the 2 rooms that has a private deck and it was VERY private. The weather was horrible but the deck is so beautifully protected with comfy cushions on the chair and a roof overhead that it was still very enjoyable to sit outside for a spell. I found it really convenient having the option of a morning check-in, too – dropped off my stuff about 10 AM and headed out for my day. They offer a continental breakfast for early risers followed by the full cooked breakfast at 9, but I had had a very late night gig and didn’t do the early thing, so my breakfast ended up being what other B&Bs where I’ve stayed would call a “3 courser”: home-made granola with raspberry yogurt and fresh blackberries & raspberries, a sumptuous basket of fresh baked goodies – I had the cinnamon roll, followed by a ham & swiss omelet with a side of fresh oranges. The bath counts as “shared” but the other room wasn’t occupied that would normally share which meant it was actually private for me. There’s a sink in the room and the 3-piece bathroom is literally right outside the door. Nelson House is located in a very quiet residential pocket of Downtown Vancouver and just a few blocks from the thick of the action if one chooses to seek out the happenings. All in all, a very pleasant experience and one I look forward to repeating in the near future!
