Dal’s space is clean, modern and comfortable, with a great view in a quiet, peaceful location on Salt Spring Island. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom well-appointed.
However, our interactions with Dal were honestly fairly uncomfortable and affected our enjoyment of the space. We stayed for one night (New Year’s eve), the space was listed as being available with a minimum of one night booking through the website. When we arrived, Dal mentioned on two occasions that it was inconvenient for him to have us for one night only. I had mistakenly arranged my booking as being for one person instead of two, and Dal requested extra money plus tax to accommodate my friend when we arrived. Fair enough, this is a business, but we were surprised to find small quantities of cereal doled out for us in the morning, and a small amount of orange juice for us to share (there was also yogurt and muffins). In the morning, Dal pressed us for feedback and, when we said we would have appreciated a bit more cereal, he responded defensively, saying we could have asked at the time. It is awkward to ask your host for more food!
In all, although the space is lovely, we felt unwelcome there and would not plan to go back.
