Couldn't have asked for a better stay!!
Like the title says, this is probably the best place I've ever stayed at. Booked it because my partner was dealing with a family emergency in Nanaimo and I wanted to be close to him and bring our cat along. We ended up needing some extra accomodations due to a death in my partner's family, but Akash and Rozy were extremely kind and understanding and gave us everything we needed. Made a HUGE positive difference in a difficult moment where all of us were grieving. If you're like me and get anxious about booking this sort of thing online, I can personally guarantee you this place is super worth your money. The suite is: - Super well maintained - Spacious - In a beautiful area in Nanaimo - Had everything we needed and more (good towels, extra bedding and blankets, good furniture, TV/Netflix with a guest account for us to use, all essential kitchen stuff to cook with, good heating, laundry room, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, even a booklet with info about the suite and fun things to do in the area!!) - The locking system to the suite felt very secure Thank you again Akash. If we need to be in Nanaimo again for the short term (and hopefully under happier circumstances) I'll definitely try booking this again!

Apartment was clean & quiet. Gas fireplace remote not working so hard to turn on. Communication with host prior to arrival was difficult as no phone or email given. After arrival, no problem as host lives upstairs.

Great Stay
I came to Nanaimo on short notice to deal with a family matter. Akash let me check in early which was helpful. The home was clean, quiet and located in a nice neighbourhood which was close to all amenities. Pets are also allowed which was great and Moki enjoyed hanging out on the window sill watching the birds. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

A lovely, peaceful place to stay in Nanaimo
I had to find an alternative to staying with relatives in Nanaimo and I found this gem in the `Sherwood Forest' neighborhood, which is centrally located in the city but feels like you are miles away from everything. The place was clean, the bed was excellent and the host was friendly, responsive and a great host! I would definitely come again and recommend to others looking for a quiet, safe and enjoyable stay in Nanaimo. Thank you!

Nice clean and quiet base camp
We had a very pleasant stay at this property in May 2023. It was very clean and well equipped. Akash was very pleasant and helpful when we had a minor problem dealing with the front door lock. This is a very nice area with Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point parks a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

Nanaimo gem!
The two of us enjoyed this property very much. Super-clean! Our host was exceptionally accommodating, as we were delayed by 3 days due to "do not travel" weather reports - he extended our stay for 3 days without further cost. When we asked for just one more day at the end, he was able to do that as well. Great communications between us! I recommend this VRBO as a great place for 2 to stay!
