Nice one! I would love if it could use coordinates too. Like, "Pool and outdoor shower near me" or "Flower garden with 1h commute to work <drop google marker>"

I know it's hard to figure out time depending on your transportation but at least that would not give me search results from the other side of the country.

That kind of search is already available in many portals. You can actually find the shape of a polígon with the places you can reach in 1h of conmuté easily, as there is a google maps api for it (distance matrix) and finding the properties in a polygon is a solved problem. (
We don't have the drop coordinates part, but you can ask it '...within 1 hour commute by [transport] of [location]' and then it will create a polygon of all the places that match that.
