Great location for walking to Osbourne Village (about 20 minutes) with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars. It's about a 20-30 minute walk downtown too and to the exchange district. Also walkable to the Forks Market. We practically walked everywhere and didn't rely on the bus. Bus 20 goes to the airport and is nearby. We didn't get to meet Al but check in was smooth and communication was never a problem. This place also has free parking at the back which was also another reason for choosing this airbnb. The room was a decent size and bed was comfy. There was also a big lounge which received plenty of light and we even had a few board game nights which was great as there was a collection of them available. Would definitely consider staying here again on a budget.
