Karen's place is just beyond stunning. You wouldn't believe it is a house in Vancouver with so many trees and proper yard (well groomed at that). Karen, herself, was incredibly accommodating for my changing needs (and I only stayed one night).
It is PERFECT for those needing a place before/after a flight. It is only a 15 min cab ride from the airport and at the time of night that I arrived, I wasn't interested in taking transit. It was also easy to connect to public transportation in the city the next day and a short walk to a very lovely coffee shop. Highly recommend.
