Cozy, Quiet Apartment
We stayed for 1 night on our way through Nanaimo. Margarita is an excellent communicator and attentive host. We checked in late due to the ferry schedule and we had no problem getting into the suite. The apartment is small and private - good for a short stay. Our only 'complaint' would be that the water in the shower wasn't quite hot enough but everything else was great 😊
Thanks for hosting us, Margarita!
*Note - Google Maps took us to an entrance that was inaccessible so watch for that! Margarita has contacted Maps to get this updated (not her fault but something to pay attention to!)
