Sandy's place is conveniently located only 15-20 mins away from downtown by bus. The bus stop is only a 2 min walk from her house. I would suggest getting an ORCA card if you are planning to use the bus and staying for a few days because fumbling for change gets tiresome! As for the house, it's great! Clean, comfortable and warm. The bed is very comfy but keep in mind that it's small so if you toss and turn you might end up on the floor! Sandy is a lovely host. She's always up for a conversation or even just to answer your questions about the city. And her dogs are very sweet. I highly recommend this place for solo travellers who want to have a true home away from home.
