Nan and Michael's Lavender Retreat was much more than I could have wished to experience for my first AirBNB attempt. I stayed for a week, and my only regret is that I couldn't stay longer!

Despite my "wee hours of the morning" arrival, my hosts were nothing but gracious and welcomed me warmly. It was a lovely treat to find a basket of fruit, chocolate and baked goods for me when I arrived! The apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed. All was as described in the listing. The kitchenette was very adequate for my needs, and I made most of my meals in-home. The grounds are lovely, and Nan's beautiful gardens are often visited by a family of deer!

The surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous, and there are many hiking trails nearby. The city core is 20 minutes away and is a very easy commute by car. The ocean is literally steps away, with a gorgeous seaside hiking trail just a short walk away. The neighbourhood is very quiet and well-tended.

My hosts respected my privacy during my stay, but were available at any time if needed. They were very helpful and gave me some great information about day trips and sightseeing to help me plan my itinerary. I would love to return to the area, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
