Allison, our host, was gracious and welcoming. She fully oriented us to our accommodations, which included both the upstairs and downstairs units of her lovely, architecturally significant home. The house is designed to be both comfortable and ecological, with a lovely outdoor terrace and a green backyard. The house is on a quiet cul de sac close to downtown Victoria, with mature trees and lots of privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All our expectations were more than met and we will strongly consider staying there again when we return to Victoria.
