Carmen's place is a little oasis in Vancouver. Her space is comfortable, bright, filled with art, and is sparking clean. Carmen gives you accurate details about the neighborhood she is in: it's a 2-5 min walk from some really great parts of downtown Vancouver, but is adjacent to some shelters and homeless camps. Her advice on navigating this was great: just smile and say hello. We didn't have any moments, even walking back late at night, when we felt unsafe. Thanks for the great stay!
