Very clean, beautifully furnished, fully self-sufficient ground-floor/basement apartment. Large windows with lots of light. Modern appliances, large bathroom, and smart tv with comfortable reclining couch. Beautiful backyard, however as it is shared with the owner who lives upstairs and was always home, we did not use it as we did not want to encroach on their space. Great parking space allocated, and only ~4-5 km from the Departure Bay ferry terminal. Nanaimo is located in a great central area to explore Vancouver Island, and this rental is located in one of the nicest parts of the Nanaimo. Would definitely recommend!
