For Vancouver, you want to stay downtown.
Most of the places you'll want to check out are downtown or easily accessible from DT.
Stanley Park is DT, so you don't need to worry about staying there in order to visit there.
All of DT is easily walk able, so being almost anywhere DT will do the trick(minus East Hastings of course).

And when it rains get an umbrella or rain jacket.
Both cities are fully operational when wet, don't let that change your to do list.
