    Everything was good

    This place is like a “home away from home”, which had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, with the added bonus of a full kitchen, so I could prepare my own meals. I didn’t use the Skytrain but it seems close. I choose to Uber around, as was easy & convenient. The place was very clean and the bed was lovely.

    Thin walls where you could hear others. Do not let this deter you, it was just occasional, not frequent.

    Quiet, secure and felt like home very quickly. Very short walk to bus or a bit longer to the Skytrain.

    The matress was a bit hard for my personal liking, and it would be a nice improvement to make the unit sound proof.

    Great location near Nanaimo Station and a beautiful lake down the road. It had all necessary appliances to stay comfortably. The hosts always responded quickly and communication was easy. Before our arrival they explained everything clearly. The space was also great for two people, and the bathroom had heated floor as well!

    Good enough and we can’t expect more.

    The location is perfect for both private car and public transportation. The one-bedroom unit rivals the comfort of a high-end hotel suite but with the added benefit of feeling like a home away from home. The attention to detail and personalized touches surpass what you'd typically find in a hotel. While the initial cost is lower the overall value becomes evident when considering the extended stay, quiet neighborhood, kitchen facilities, and homey atmosphere, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.

    It was horribly noisy in the evenings, bad soundproofing between the houses, floors meant you could hear people moving around disturbing our sleep.

    Well equipped and in a good location for transport into the city. Has washer and dryer, good shower, comfortable bed.

    Nice apartment, as described and did the job.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Suite
    • Stayed 7 nights

    There were two things I didn't like about the apartment. First was the door in the main bedroom that led into the next apartment. It was locked and I didn't try and open it, but I would have been a lot happier to have bolts as well to ensure nobody could get in to my side. The other thing was the noise from the upstairs apartment. I think it was another holiday let, and the soundproofing left a lot to be desired. It sounded as though building work was going on there were so many bangs and crashes, though this was not every day and not after about 9pm.

    Had a week in Vancouver to help settle my daughter in at UBC so we needed an apartment for two for a couple of nights and then just me for the rest of the week. The apartment was in a really nice residential area, with a lovely little food shop a two minute walk away and Nanaimo Sky Train station a 10 minute walk. From Nanaimo it's a really quick journey to get to downtown Vancouver, and 10mins by Sky Train then 30mins by bus to get to UBC. The neighbourhood felt really safe, the neighbours are friendly and the apartment had everything we needed for a short and very busy stay. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well equipped. There are many, many Uber eats options (including wine deliveries - so civilised) so catering was easy.

    A bit noisy inside the house (sorry kidos). Rule says no noise after 11 PM but what about before?

    Fully equipped. Having a washing machine & a dryer in the room is a real plus when you travel for more than 2 weeks.

    - Too many instructions on the walls telling you what you ought to do (therefore doesn't make you feel too relaxed) - There wasn't any information regarding tourist attractions or restaurants which they recommend in the neighbourhood - Lack of decoration (plain, which made you feel like you were in a hotel)

    - Bed and pillows - Washing machine - Fan -Smart TV -Shower

    A bit hot in the summer because on 2nd floor but the owner changed the air conditioner to a new one and it fixed the problem. Because the size of the appartment, may be two AC units will be required. Radiant floor in main bathroom always ON so it add heat while we want to reduce it. May be shut down the breaker of the floor heathing during summer months. This is opportunity for improvement - we are very happy of our stay and we would return to same place again :-)

    Close to bus station and Skytrain by walk distance. Quiet place.

    The very strong smell of cat urine, near the front gate entry, was despicable and detracted from getting to our room. For the price, it would have been nice to have better drinking cups/glasses instead of the very worn plastic drinking glasses used for advertising.

    We not have any breakfast. Location was ok.

    was quite noisy in the evening and mornings in the bedroom (where the wall is shared with other neighbours), so was quite impossible to fall asleep until people on the other side will finish dinner. but apart of it is quite good!

    It was very thin walls you can hear everything everywhere in home as per your group and others in complex. I enjoy tubs lol but the place had a great shower. Suggestions...Maybe non white towel / face cloth set for kids as they get dirty ( beach etc). Extension cord for short people to plug in appliance in kitchen lol

    It was a clean space and had everything you needed. It was close to the SkyTrain which we used everyday. There was also a banana grove market close by to get some basic groceries. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows.
