Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay at Maggie's place just minutes from downtown Victoria. The house is an old heritage home with all the character you would expect. It is perfect for families with small children--they are stocked with toys, an outside playhouse, a TV you can cast your Netflix to view shows, and best of all the chickens. Our kids adored feeding the chickens and collecting a few eggs.
The set up is also very nice--3 bedrooms upstairs and a very nice Master bedroom with a cozy balcony to relax on in the evening; and a separate downstairs bedroom perhaps for a teen or grandpa & grandma.
We loved the location - downtown Victoria is a 2km walk; or a 10 minute bike ride away; an extensive walking/running/biking trail system is just 2 blocks away. You can find local shops and a grocery store complex close by as well.
The only caution might be that you should expect street parking and several flights of stairs to get your luggage up from the street into the house.
