New, Clean, Quiet, Spacious - Fantastic For the Price
Our stay was excellent. The listing said ocean view, but the ocean was blocked by trees unless you walked to the fence and looked over. That wasn't a major concern because we were hardly there during the day, but that might be important to some. There are also a lot of steps down to the door as Nanaimo is very hilly. Again, not an issue for us, but that might be a concern for older visitors. It's in a residential neighborhood which meant it was very quiet and relaxing, but you'll need to drive to stores and restaurants, if that's important to you. Again, it wasn't a concern for us.
The accommodation was very roomy, extremely clean, quiet, and new. All of the appliances you would need were there including laundry. The couch even had USB ports and electrical outlets. Wifi was provided, as was digital cable TV with DVR. The shower was wonderful because of a rainfall shower head. The bed was very comfortable and there was no noise from the main floor above, so we slept like babies. It's technically a basement but because of the hill it was a walkout suite and you felt like you were on the main level. Our hosts were extremely responsive by text.
If you're looking for a clean, quiet spot away from major streets, you won't find a nicer place than this. It was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again.
