A Perfect Stay in Downtown Nanaimo - Gem of a Condo!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this condo in downtown Nanaimo, and it proved to be the perfect choice for our visit to see family. Barry, our attentive host, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable and that we had everything we needed. First and foremost, the condo's location is unbeatable. Nestled right in the heart of downtown Nanaimo, it provided easy access to shopping, dining establishments, and the picturesque waterfront. The vibrant main street added to the charm, especially with its Thursday evening market featuring local artisans, music, and food trucks. The condo itself was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. The living area was spacious with comfortable furniture. The main bedroom, equally impressive, boasted a generous size and a fully stocked ensuite with an abundance of towels. A standout feature of the condo was undoubtedly the fully equipped kitchen. While we didn't cook during our stay, it was evident that the kitchen had everything one could possibly need including quality dinnerware and glassware. We also appreciated the beautiful patio, complete with a convenient BBQ for those wanting to cook outdoors. We wholeheartedly recommend this condo for anyone visiting downtown Nanaimo. Its prime location, tasteful decor, and comprehensive amenities make it a perfect choice for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you, Barry, for providing us with an enjoyable experience!

Condo living
Barry”s condo was amazing it was stocked with everything you could had ever wanted or needed. Very convenient location the only bad thing I have to say is there is a homeless problem which has nothing to do with Barry’s place and we have been told by other residents that the city of Nanaimo is suppose to look after this in march we definitely 💯 recommend this condo and Barry was quick to answer any questions we had overall super happy

Great spot in the centre of everything
Perfect spot for a quick family vacation. Barry was well organized and his place was well equipped for our needs. The courtyard added to so much to the property and the AC unit was appreciated because we had gorgeous weather while in Nanaimo!

About the host

Hosted by Barry Samson

Host profile image
60 year old man who loves the Island and what Island life has to offer . My favourite destination on the island ? --- Tofino . Make sure you allow yourself a day to drive over there and walk the beaches . Make sure to stop at Cathedral Grove on the way over .

Why they chose this property

I love this building because it is so centrally located to just about everything . I use the sea wall all the time for running and it is just one block away . Lovely little outside courtyard sitting area complete with chairs and a propane BBQ.

What makes this property unique

Downtown living and yet tucked into the corner of a beautifully landscaped courtyard. It truly is a downtown hideaway . Just a 2 minute walk to restaurants and the sea wall . If you want to treat yourself have lunch or dinner at the Lighthouse Bistro which is over the water and is just one block away .
This building is very well managed and the managers ,who are friends of mine and live directly above me , run a tight ship and have created a living experience that is very uncommon in condo living . Very simply this is a great place to live .

I love this place !
