Parfait !
Pros:

Super studio bien équipé et avec goût situé près d’un supermarché accessible à pied et avec une superbe vue. Au calme malgré l’emplacement près de la route. Très mignon Ucluelet ! Et une jolie attention des propriétaires !

Cons:

Il manque peut être une guest laundry.

Sleepless.
Pros:

The location in centre of town was great. The building and rooms were exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. The bottle of wine and handwritten note were a nice touch to make us feel welcome.

Cons:

The sofabed was the worst I've ever slept on - and I've slept on many. It sloped backwards towards the top, it was lumpy and bumpy, you could feel the springs coming through, Actually it was so bad I felt it was a total disgrace that they were charging the rate they did for such substandard equipment.

Cosy and comfortable suite. When needed to call owner, they were easy to get in touch with.
Pros:

It was a bit secluded from the street. More privacy. The hot tub was nice to be able to use.

Cons:

It should be explained that the driveway is very steep. A challenge when leaving the property.
No real fridge / freezer.

Wonderful property close to everything.The hot tub and sauna were fantastic! The bottle of wine was a pleasant surprise.
Pros:

We loved the location and the sauna and hot tub were an added bonus😀

Cons:

It was hard not to dislike anything but if I could make one suggestion, it would be to upgrade the bed pillows.

Pros:

Great location, just steps from the store a local coffee shops and restaurants. Also walking distance to the Wild Pacific Trail. I enjoyed overlooking the harbor from my room and the Hot Tub and Steam room were a lovely addition. I didn’t meet the hosts in person but they were great to communicate with over messages and very responsive and friendly.

Airbnb not an inn at all.
Pros:

Modern room, hot tub and sauna.

Cons:

Bathroom is part of room so lacks privacy, coffee and tea kettles had (how old??) water in them and when I texted owners about milk, they advised they didn’t supply. This is an Airbnb. Sauna and hot tub are great but small to share with all other guests.
