Our 9 day stay on Faithful Street was fabulous!! The super elegant Georgian flat was spotless, beautifully decorated and could not have been better located, half a block to forest walks in Beacon Hill Park, two blocks to the ocean and three blocks to shopping and super restaurants in Cook Street Village - don't miss Pizza Prima Strada. As we are currently restoring a Victorian era house we found lots of inspiring ideas at Ken's lovingly restored Georgian Mansion.
After walks and runs in the park and on the shores of Juan de Fuca, we prepared meals in the well equipped kitchen and hosted family feasts in the great dinning room taking advantage of the extra chairs, dishes and silver cutlery thoughtfully provided by Kevin. The two big flat screen TVs and stereo systems in the living room and bedroom were a bit challenging for us figure out so it would be great for future guests if Ken provided some "simple instructions for little engineers". That challenge and some intermittent failures of the WIFI ( probably Christmas gamers) were our only glitches. As Kevin had been VERY responsive to all communications we were certain he would have solved these little problems if we merely called or dropped a note to him. However, because it was GOOD for us to be enjoying fellowship with family and friends as well as fresh air and ocean walks, we happily accepted a bit of deprivation from electronic entertainment by not to disturbing our gracious host over Christmas.
In summary, after numerous great experiences with AirBnB and other vacation rentals all over the world, this stands out as the best rental accommodation and best value we have encountered. HIGHLY recommended for anyone planning a visit to charming Victoria BC.
