Truly a tiny mansion, Jara's place was exactly what my friend and I were looking for. It was in an adorable neighborhood in Oak Bay, easy access to everything; shops, grocery stores, downtown, beaches, and anything our hearts desired. Her hospitality was impeccable, upon arriving there was a welcome gift and a fire. Though she gave us complete and total privacy, she was easy to reach when needed, and always happy to help and advise. You won't find a better host - guaranteed. Another thing to note is the wonderful books, art, and well-stocked kitchen. We also found the house to be extremely quiet and slept great the entire time. I hope to have another opportunity to experience Jara's hospitality on my next trip to Victoria.
