After reading all the (capitalized) rules and directions it should not have been a surprise that unknown owner would “find a new unsolvable stain” on the …”Lovely Brand New Suite” but did not discover the possibly “used” sheets and bedcovers and the dryer full of towels. A nice change could be a larger TV, a chair at the desk, a welcoming picture or photo at the entrance, better bedding, newer towels. Kitchen looked ok but we didn’t use it.

Location was excellent. The experience was like renting an escape room.

We have stayed here many times and in the past it has been great but. This time it was different the cleaner who told us we can’t get in until 6 o’clock was nothing short of rude and sarcastic?????. We respect the property’s we stay at and remove our shoes on entry we ended up with dirty feet. Then we had to go and buy dishwashing liquid. Our previous days were much better.

All furniture was ikea!!!! Not comfortable. Hard bed, no springs. Hard couch, again no springs. You have a excellent place, but went cheap with furniture. Change it and we would come for sure. Rudy

Excellent location. Good layout. Nice kitchen and bathroom.

Stayed in October 2024

No air conditioning and couldn’t open any windows all of the way. Only two windows could be opened slightly. Sour towels in the dryer on arrival. Crumbs under sofa cushions. Weak bathroom fan and no window here.

Good location. Nice modern appartment. Quick response from host.

It would have been nice to have some coffee in the unit, and a throw blanket for on the couch.

The location was great. It was easy to walk down to the water, and the shops, and everything was close by.

The communication email I was sent in regards to the rules and all the do's and don'ts associated with the booking I found to be "over the top". You can't just threaten to fine your guests for breaching your set of rules and expect them to also feel special and welcomed about renting your property. I found it quite rude and insulting.

The location is very central in the Sidney township and a great location for a base to explore the top end of the peninsula.

I would suggest setting up the kitchen better, with more cooking tools and more dishes too. Especially for guests that are planning longer stays, like we did. The host was very responsive when I communicated a couple of concerns/requests I had. Overall, the place is very nice and comfortable.

The location was excellent, within walking distance to downtown Sidney. The place was really lovely, fresh, felt new, and fairly quiet, too.

Poor cleanliness. Lack of supplies and amenities in the apartment. Empty soap container. Only two rolls of toilet paper in suite. Only two towels put out. Later found two more crumpled in the dryer. Old food left in the oven by previous tenants. Windows only open a crack, providing poor air flow during hot weather. No AC. Janitorial lady felt compeled to berate a family member about having a phone conversation in hall ..in the middle of the day.

Centrally located. Clear instructions for entry. Clear instructions for parking.

Very difficult to gain access to property. Lock Box located in back alley was one of a dozen identical lock boxes. Very difficult to determine which lock box was the correct lock box. No air conditioning. Only limited ventilation through very small window opening. Inadequate fan provided for cooling. Fan only moves warm internal air around inside of unit. Internal air temperature during moderately warm Summer months requires air conditioning. Lobby and hallways are air conditioned, why not living spaces? Exhaust fan in bathroom inoperative. Need more laundry soap. Only three laundry soap pods provided. No onsite staff available. Very uncomfortable bed. Futon type construction. Bed occupied almost entire bedroom. Furniture was cheap IKEA style furniture.

Safe location. Secure entry. Convenient access to Sidney Marina. Liked having a washing machine inside unit.

Very clean and comfortable, plus amazing location

1st. You couldn’t find the building. Its entrance is so well hidden that I went around the block twice looking for it. Even locals couldn’t tell me where it is. If you look at google map, even it doesn’t show you the building number located on map. After an hour of walking around, I finally managed to find the well hidden elusive lockbox & then entrance. The pictures provided doesn’t provide the perspective of the location. 2nd. Finally found the entrance and I enter the elevator, which welcomed me with stinking garbage. You’d think someone was just about to pick it up but no. That stinking garbage stayed there the entire stay I was there! 3rd. You enter the small apartment. It’s clean but rather underwhelming. Didn’t feel like home or even a motel. 4th. I am tired, exhausted from the long day I had and then add another frustrating hour to find this place, I was really hoping that this place would be at least comfortable. But no, it was HOT as hell! There is no fan available, there is no air conditioning and the windows don’t open all the way! There are only 2 windows in the entire apartment btw. The pillows & mattress smelled like sweat from other guest! Eeeew! Why wouldn’t it? The entire place was bubbling hot like a sauna. I wanted to cry and I’d rather stay in my rental car instead and still be happier. Which costed the same for entire week! 5th. The cost to rent this for 1 night is $300 after all the fees + taxes! $300!!! Yup, you too can experience to stay in this dump for $300! It was advertised at $162 per night. Also this is a non-refundable booking. So beware!!! This is the only way this rental will ever earn anything by trapping poor travellers who know not better. The only good thing about this experience was that I didn’t want to leave the Vancouver Island. I was very sad to leave… but staying here, I couldn’t wait to leave! I slept just 2 hours as I woke up in sweats! I left this dump at the crack of dawn as soon as I could.

It really helped me in leaving the island. I was feeling sad to leave but staying here, I couldn’t wait to leave!

Couldn’t find a toaster so we bought one from a local second store. Also couldn’t find extra garbage bags so also bought some. Location of garbage is a bit far (but fine for us).
