Summary: Taaja is an excellent host, very thoughtful and caring, making sure that we were comfortable while also giving us privacy. With a separate outside entrance, the upstairs apartment itself is excellent, very comfortable, and better than the photos. Everything is done in very good taste, blending new fixtures with antique accents. There is plenty of closet space and room to spread out - wonderful for our 4-day weekend, or much longer. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay, with a well appointed kitchen, and a brand new large oven and huge glass cooktop stove which is not apparent in the photos. It was an easy 10 minute drive to downtown Nanaimo (where we really enjoyed Mon Petit Choux for breakfast!), yet it felt like we were far away in a tranquil oasis breathing the sea air as we watched the nearby ferries sail by in Departure Bay... Thank you Taaja for being a wonderful host and for making this lovely apartment available!

Summary: Cosy nest right on the bay-we watched the ships and ferries going by. Very conveniently located for exploring the island. Tasha had some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat - every one was a winner.

Summary: The property is exactly as it is described. Right on the beach. The view from the balcony is beautiful and constantly fascinating as ferries, kayaks, seaplanes and sailboats come in go in bay. The owners Taaja and Ken were helpful and friendly while still providing for our privacy. Excellent experience.
