My family of four (including 9 and 11-yr-old girls) enjoyed a wonderful stay at Toula's place! The location is fantastic, backing up to the beautiful Beacon Hill Park and within easy walking/biking distance of downtown Victoria, the beach, and Cook Street Village. There is really no need for a car at all. The decor of the home is very fun and interesting, and the kitchen is beautiful and well stocked. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated the black-out blinds, which allowed us to sleep in. We did have a bicycle stolen from the yard (it was locked up, but the chain was cut). Luckily, we recovered it later during our stay but just beware of leaving bikes in view of the street. Toula was a responsive host but gave us complete privacy. Highly recommend!
