Solitude and convenience
Let me start by saying our hosts were amazing! Shannon and Scott went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant, often providing little extras that just leveled up the stay. We were there for almost 2 months while we searched for a new home on the island. The suite is very clean, comfortable and contemporary. The kitchen was very well appointed with a full sized fridge, range and microwave.The bathroom is large and bright and well stocked but I would suggest the addition of a grab handle to increase secure access to the shower. .
The one thing weren't thrilled with the location. It's located in a subdivision called The Foothills in upper Lantzville. This entire subdivision is carved into the side of a mountain so all the roads/walkways are steeply inclined and while you are less than 10 min. from Nanaimo, you are within walking distance of nothing.
The other thing we found challenging was the driveway. The entry of the driveway is not level having a noticeable lean to the right. The right side of the driveway is partially fenced but the unfenced portion has a steep drop off down into the neighboors yard. Whether we were driving in or backing out we got the distinct sensation that we could easily slide off the driveway into the neighbour's yard. Of course this never happened but it was a bit nerve wracking. Apart from the driveway, we really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend this location!
