Melanie and Don were wonderful hosts. Very friendly and welcoming, they provided wonderful local tips that were greatly appreciated and well utilized. They were the perfect blend of available for questions and respectful of space. Their home can be a little difficult to find if you manually put the address in the iPhone map app, but finding it was not a problem if you click on the address link in the Airbnb app or email notification. Their property is gorgeous, and the welcome package options were delightful options of local options. As a bonus, their puppy is adorable and super friendly — & very well trained! (: overall a great stay and a perfect introduction to the beauty and serenity of Vancouver island.
