Carmen's place was exactly as described.
This was first AirBnB experience and her clear instructions and responsiveness made it a very enjoyable one.
I even requested an earlier check-in time and Carmen was very helpful in letting me come a bit early.
The location is in a nice quiet suburban part of East Van in a clean and tidy community. I went for several long walks and jogs around the area during my stay and felt quite at home.
It could be considered far from public transport as the regular bus I would use the R4 is a solid 6-8min walk away. There is ample street parking though if you were older and find walking 700 meters far. I found it a nice way to get extra steps in for the day.
Downtown is a 45mins to an hour away by public transport and Metro town on 22mins. Vancouver is such an accessible city I never found it inconvenient or a hassle to get around.
Thanks Carmen for being so accommodating and for the nice flat pillow I requested after my first night.
Cheers, W
