It was a pleasant stay with Minh's house. There are three bedrooms on the first floor for airbnb and I rent #1. The room is spacious, clean and new. Minh provides all appliance in the living room, includes fridge, stove, oven, washer and dryer. Besides that, the host offers milk, breads and cereal for free, I don't even need to bother considering how to deal with my breakfast.
As a host, Minh is super helpful and responsive. The host family is very welcoming and responds fast to my questions/asks. I asked for a working desk to work from the room and they set up a desk for me the other day, this is AMAZING!
The house is 2 minutes walk from Nanaimo SkyTrain station and is incredibly convenient, the total commute to downtown is within 20 minutes. Btw, the wifi speed is fast!
