This was a lovely retreat close to downtown Victoria. The room, bath, and kitchen area were very clean and fresh-smelling. The stairs to get to the room are quite steep and narrow, and no shoes are allowed upstairs, so be very careful going up in stocking feet. Brenda is very welcoming and helped me with several questions I had about bike rentals, food, and getting around Victoria. Very comfortable bed and cute bathroom. There is no standing shower- you climb into the soaking tub and use the handheld shower head to bathe. Lovely view out the back and it was great to be in a real neighborhood.
