We rented the garage suite for 4 months and found the suite useful for our needs.
We didn't have much interaction with Amber or the family at all, they kept to themselves.
Pros:
- The space was very clean when we arrived which we appreciated.
- Large comfortable bed.
- Well stocked kitchen.
- Amber gave us our mail if it was delivered to their house.
- Walking distance to local coffee shops/ grocery stores.
Cons:
- The kitchen is very very small - perfect for a few days, but we found it difficult for long term use and wouldn't recommend for long term stays.
- Very noisy highway - the highway is very noisy and busy, particularly at night and took some getting used to. We needed to use earplugs most evenings if we wanted to have the window open to let in some air.
- Amber's family live below/joined by a door, so if you're opposed to hearing children make noise ( I mention this as some people are) then it's probably not the best place for you. It didn't' really bother us, however.
- The kitchen would benefit from a large kitchen bin, we used bin bags as bins which wasn't ideal. Perhaps as most people usually only stay for a short period so a small bin usually suffices.
Overall, we'd recommend for a short stay in Langford.
