We have now stayed at 5 vrbo-type properties in the Sidney area in the past 4 months, and this was by far the best. It's in downtown Sidney, and within walking distance of the US ferry terminal. Tony is a great host - friendly, helpful and very responsive. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, a full bath, a very comfortable bed, and was honestly great value for money. For our next trip to Sidney, we will contact Tony first and hope we'll be able to stay here again. Even in January, btw, there's lots to do around here - walking, hiking and biking, oh and the choices for cider, beer and wine tasting (Farmer's Daughter or Deep Cove Winery for example) and food (The Chalet or Fickle Fig or Melinda's Biscotti for example) in Sidney are excellent. Sidney itself is a charming little town too, with lots of individual shops and very friendly locals. Can't wait to return!
