After completing the WCT a couple of days early, my wife and I were looking for accommodations in Victoria for 2 nights before heading to the Sunshine Coast. The only problem was that we completed the hike on the Saturday of a long weekend and there were only limited places left on Airbnb and the few hotel rooms we could find were ridiculously expensive. Luckily we stumbled across George's place and within minutes of hitting request, we recieved our confirmation back from George with directions to the house and the code to access the front door.
The house was very easy to find and was located in the beautiful district of Oak Bay. The neighborhood was quiet and just minutes away from some nice shops and cafes along Oak Bay Ave. And only 15 minutes at best to reach downtown Victoria.
The house itself was a very nice heritage style home with front steps leading up to a big porch with a hammock strung in one corner which was perfect after spending 5 nights out in the wilderness! The inside was super clean, with gorgeous wooden floors, a nice sized living room, big open kitchen and stairs leading up to two bedrooms and a second bathroom. Everything was as described in the ad and as presented in the pictures. George had even left a few beverages in the fridge for us to enjoy during our stay!
Communication was great the entire time with George and even though he was off kayaking over the weekend, he still responded to all of our messages promptly. We will definitely look for George's place next time we returned to the island.
