One of the best stays I've lived in. This felt like a place where the hosts seem to have curated everything to give their guests the best experience.From the rustic feel of the furniture to a dine out on the patio, this place offered the best value for the money and beyond. Clean quiet, conveniently located and highly recommended if you are visting Nanaimo.
