My boyfriend and I loved Carmen's place! Upon arrival we found that much of the area is undergoing urbanization but once we passed through the threshold of this quaint, modern, immaculate little gem of an apartment our jaws dropped. The location was perfect, the cleanliness was out of this world and her directions were very clear. We brought bikes and found the city was quite navigable (although at times terrifying, know your routes!) we were within walking distance to the adorable Gastown, and took up a few of Carmen's restaurant recommendations and found those to be spot on as well.
This was our first time using air b & b and I'm not sure we will ever go back to the hotel ball and chain. Having access to a kitchen was a godsend to stay on budget, among other amenities like Laundry. Carmen has an amazing spot and anyone lucky enough to visit Vancouver won't be disappointed with this space, or Carmen's hospitality, which is blooming in her space whether she's around or not.
Thanks so much Carmen!
