Fantastic Stay in Nanaimo
Really couldn’t have been better. Beautiful area nestled in the trees. Apartment was spacious and very quiet. Short drive anywhere. Ryan was super easy to communicate with before and during the stay. Will definitely stay again next time I’m in Nanaimo.

Island Time
The unit is perfect! Every detail is done to perfection. The unit is exceptionally clean and cozy. It was also fairly quiet. The location is close to everything and anything you can think of. Ryan is quite friendly and took a time to visit a while. He gave great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would suggest this place to everyone. The carriage suit is one of the best places I have rented! It really was amazing!

Great floor plan for two guests. Very comfortable in every way. Really good appliances and well equipped kitchen. Many nice touches all around the carriage suite above the garage - so well appointed. Good communication with the host for sure. Would stay again without hesitation (we stayed 4 nights).

Ryan was an excellent host. We had never been to the area and was very pleased with the location of the rental. The rental was well equipped, very clean, perfect layout for 2 people, quiet and very welcoming. If we make it back to the area we will most definitely stay again. Thank you!
