We spent six weeks at Ianine’s place during an international relocation. The apartment is just as described except that the photos don’t really do it justice! It is spacious, comfortable and well-appointed — quite one of the best equipped kitchens we’ve encountered on AirBnB! Ianine’s clever decor and fascinating collection of collectibles only add to the cozy atmosphere. We were there during the winter so were unable to use the outside garden areas but we could tell they they would be very inviting in warmer weather. The house is in a wonderful and walkable neighbourhood of historic and newer homes, and is only a ten-minute walk from a small shopping centre that supplies most needs. Victoria Harbour and the Songhees Walkway are also a ten-minute walk away, and if you’re feeling more energetic you can walk to Victoria’s fantastic downtown in 20 minutes. Ianine is a kind and friendly host, giving us plenty of privacy but ready to help us out whenever needed. Thank you, Ianine!
