Lovely stay

Tom, place was just as the pictured showed. It was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything that we needed. A super bonus was the coffee for our first morning, and I especially appreciated a couple of plastic containers to allow us to bring healthy meals on our daily hikes. The location suited us well; it was close to all the amenities and had easy access to the main road that took us on all our adventures. Having some additional cooking essentials on hand would have been great, such as a few spices and cooking oil. Overall, we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and would return.

Couldn’t ask for more!

We stayed at Tom’s place while visiting our family in PA. The place is exactly as shown- extremely clean and airy with all and any amenities you can ask for. The attention to detail is everywhere from wall mirrors (our granddaughter loved it), clock radios with USB port, (very much appreciated) and plush towels. Highly recommend and would stay there again.

great renovated home, nice touches

very nicely renovated apartment with thoughtful touches, such as kitchen under-counter lighting, USB charging ports in nightstand lights, cool window shades. Loved the central AC. Kitchen well equipped. Double paned windows helped to muffle street noise (house fronts a main road). Wifi worked great. Tom is in the process of making upgrades to the exterior which would make the outdoor area more useable. Benjamin the gentle giant of a St Bernard/Bernese mountain dog is a sweetheart. Tom lives right in the building and is very responsive. I even accompanied him and Ben on one of their morning walks. Definitely would stay here again.

Great central island location

Tom was a great host and was very flexible with our arrival time, as we were unsure of our ferry time and what we wanted to see beforehand. He made some great suggestions for things to do in the area and where to eat. We had dinner at Bare Bones fish restaurant. I’d travel back to Port Alberni just to eat there! We couldn’t find accommodation in Tofino or Uculet, so Tom’s place was a good place to stay for our day trip to the coast. It took about 2 hours to get there though. The apartment was outfitted with a great TV and comfortable living area for the 4 of us adults. The kitchen was perfect for the meals we made and everything was new and in good working order. The only minor thing was the grill, which we had intended to use. It was a little too small for a family BBQ, so we had to change our meal plans a little. A very pleasant stay overall.
