We really enjoyed our stay at Ping’s place! Access to the metro is just as convenient as described. If you’d like to make a day out of visiting the attractions around the Olympic park (Biodôme, botanical garden, etc), the location is ideally sited. She is an incredibly hospitable host who even brought us laundry detergent upon request! The space was sparkling clean upon arrival. I would recommend Ping’s listing to anyone who is looking for an affordable stay in a quieter neighborhood that allows for the ability to cook some meals.
