The property owner communicated well with check-in instructions and offered early check-in. The place was very clean, spacious and well stocked with a variety of utensils and other kitchenware, condiments, coffee maker and coffee and laundry soap. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you James! We hope that you do get back our way again sometime.
Comfortable, quiet, well-equipped. Hosts were super friendly, extremely responsive to any requests I made, and very helpful in all. I stayed here nearly a month and really enjoyed it. The place looks out into a charming backyard that is visited by deer and other wildlife.

Thank you Rose! I really appreciate the good care that you took of the apartment. We hope that you come stay with us again.
This was a a perfect accommodation for my conference weekend. It was well within walking distance downtown and had lots of little extras to make my stay more comfortable. Hatty and Rick went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and were so knowledgeable about the area.

Hatty's apartment is a 10 star accommodation. The apartment is spotless and spacious, the kitchen is large and exceptionally well equipped, and the wi-fi is fast and reliable. I could easily have spent weeks in this apartment it was that nice!

Thanks Maureen! We would be happy to host you again.
Having spent 4 days kayaking on a remote island in British Columbia without electricity, it was a pleasure to find laundry facilities which allowed us to wash our clothes. In addition, the kitchen, bathroom and sleeping accommodations were perfect.

Thank you Ivan! I'm glad the apartment worked out for you. We would welcome you back anytime!
Had 1 night stay. Location was easy to find, lots of parking in front of unit. The suite was lovely, very clean, comfortable, and in a very quiet location. It was well equipped.
This is an amazing stay. The hosts are kind, accommodating, and so helpful. They provide everything you need in the kitchen, as well as a stocked closet with extra blankets. The hosts have a lovely backyard with a garden, firepit, and comfortable seating. Such a quiet neighborhood. You can just sit and listen to the birds. Its a close walk to a shopping center and close to the bus stops. The bus stops are through some cool little paths which were fun to explore. Overall this was an incredible stay. I was really impressed and appreciative of their hospitality. When I come back, I'll be staying here again!

Thanks so much Gwen! We enjoyed hosting you & will always welcome you back!
Loved staying here! Serene and peaceful. I would love to return in warmer weather, as the yard is so beautiful. The suite is tastefully decorated, and lacks nothing in terms of supplies. Bed was comfy, cupboards well stocked, and the place was super clean. I'll be back for sure!

Hatty had everything we needed plus all the welcoming basics in the fridge. Wow! Such a cute suite and very clean. We found it spacious and well designed. There is a lovely covered sitting area too…and much more. Just fabulous!
We were very impressed with our stay. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and the host made every effort to include thoughtful items such as: a detailed binder of how to work appliances, local sights, etc; all utensils and dishes you would ever need; and access to a backyard space with a firepit and seating. The host gave us our privacy, yet we knew we could contact them with any issues. We also enjoyed watching the bunnies and deer that roamed in the backyard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Every step of this booking was efficient and professional. The rooms were immaculate and the bed very comfortable. The hostess Hattie provided every amenity, lots of thoughtful touches. The kitchenette was well equipped, everything was provided including coffee, cream, and sugar!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially sitting out back, listening to the birds, and watching the rabbits and hummingbirds. Highly recommended!
