The good part - the Olympic events in 2010 will take place both in Whistler and Vancouver - so why not call it Whistler 2010 and Vancouver 2010 - well, either works fine with locals.

2010 Whistler accommodations and 2010 Vancouver accommodations will be in high demand, and securing a place to stay with the best ameneties as a hot tub, 2-3 a bathrooms and bedrooms, luxury kitchen and more will become scarce.

On the best places to stay during the 2010 Olympics may just be Squamish (ha ha Squamish 2010). Why?

If I were to find a 2010 vacation rental - I’d opt for Vancouver and find someone to swap for the remainder in Whistler (Whistler 2010 accommodations for rent)- though finding someone will be difficult. Alternatively, get online, make some new penpals in Whistler and Vancouver and stay at their place - a cheap way to go.

So if you’re thinking of visiting Vancouver in 2010 and Whistler in 2010 and seeking accommodations for 2010 Olympics, I’d suggest booking now - and go the route of Owner-Direct so you get all the amenities privately to yourself.
