What a GEM ! My parents and I stayed at Neil's place for 2 nights (and wished we could have stayed longer). With its great location, beautiful decor and spaciousness, this house was such an added value to our short stay in Victoria. What better than to come back to a place that feels like home at the end of a long day of touristing. It truly felt like a home as soon as we walked in ! The house does have a lot of character (and a great energy for those who believe in that :) and the pictures really don't do it justice ! Although the living room was spacious, we spent most of our time in the kitchen. There was something so special about sitting around the blue 50's style formica kitchen table and gazing out the window, taking in the beauty of the water and nature surrounding us (the house is literally by the water). The bedrooms were cozy and the beds very comfortable - we all slept like babies. The place was spotless and Neil provided a lot of towels as well as the basic bathroom essentials. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need. Neil was quick to respond and made himself available to any questions and recommendations we might have needed. My parents and I were very very very happy with Neil's house overall and would recommend staying there to anybody ! Thank you !
