Karen's place is located in a quiet yet convenient neighbourhood very close to Fisherman's Wharf and also Breakwaters District (Both around 5-10 min walk). You can stroll down to the harbour front for some fish & chips, or walk along the long jetty that stretches all the way into the ocean with a gorgeous view during sunset. Although a slight distance from downtown Victoria, it is a nice 20-30min walk along the waters to reach the City centre area. If you don't mind walking or biking, you can easily reach most of the City's major attractions from here.
Karen kept her place clean and tidy, with lots of house decorations that each tells a story. She welcomed me warmly and it's always great chatting with her too. The room was spacious and cozy with sufficient light and its own bathroom to use. Wifi internet can be slow at times, but since I'm here for a short visit, I didn't really mind and was outside most of my time. I stayed here over a weekend and it really felt like home. If I visit Victoria again I would definitely stay at Karen's place and recommend others to stay here too :)
