Sisters and husbands enjoying Nanaimo
One bedroom had no windows and we couldn't regulate the heat but otherwise the apartment was exactly what was advertised. We enjoyed the central location and were able to walk to central city and easy drive to many parks and hikes. One set of keys was not easy (some people bicycled and others hiked).

Great choice
Very clean and up-to-date. Great views great location
We liked the condo in general. Well stocked with dishes, glasses and utensils.
To get access to the condo, make sure to make arrangements with the host for getting the access key.
Would recommend taking slippers due to all marble flooring was hard and a little cold.
The sofa was a little small to accommodate 4 adults comfortably.
Not close to anything other than a cute Pho restaurant off the parking lot. Transportation is needed unless you are OK to walk about 2 miles to get downtown.
Overall the accommodations were good, clean, and safe.

Not great
The apartment was beautiful but when we arrive the carbon monoxide detector was going off in the bedroom and the host did not rectify the problem and also found that the second bedrooms detector had been taken down, so no actual detectors were working. The upstairs apartment was very noisy you could here everything through the floor and there was a humming sound in the spare bedroom that kept you awake.actual detec

We loved the location of this unit. The never-the-same view of the marina was fascinating to watch and the proximity to all amenities is perfect! Great unit with everything you need to make it a home away from home. Will be back!
