Distance Feature

[Ellen104]

For my hosts located in Metropolitan areas with public transporation, wouldn't it be great if Airbnb offered a function or feature that would give guests an approximate distance from your listing to the nearest mode of public transportation?  I've found that *some* hosts minimize their distance from the closest train/bus.  "Just a few short blocks" can really mean a 10 - 15 minute walk which can be brutal in below-freezing weather and is quite different from the "few short blocks" of a 3 minute walk.  Anybody else feel like this feature would be beneficial if it could also be featured in searching listings?

Hello @Ellen104,

I agree that a "few short blocks" can mean wildly different things to different people.  I put right into my listing the walk time to public transportation (1 minute, 3 minutes, outside the door), or you could say "three blocks".  Again, people walk at different speeds, but to have some specific numbers (time or distance) helps.
