Great stay! Damien was an awesome host, and he and his family were very welcoming throughout our two-month stay in Nanaimo. They were always available to help whenever we needed anything, which made our stay very enjoyable.The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bed was very comfortable. The location was also great, with grocery stores and the beach nearby.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Nanaimo, especially for a longer stay. Thank you again, Damien, for making our time in Nanaimo so enjoyable!
