Great stay with Stasi! I was in town for a conference downtown. Her place is a 20 min walk from the conference center with tons of shops/restaurants along the way so it was very easy. It’s a two bedroom apartment with a shared bathroom and kitchen. The other bedroom is also rented out to Airbnb. I think Stasi lives in the same house but upstairs in another unit.
I was in and out all week so did not see much of Stasi but she was very responsive over text. For example, she asked me if I needed any groceries for breakfast. I suggested a few items and she had them in the kitchen the next morning. I also asked for some hangers and the next day, she had installed a little hanging rack in my room! I was so impressed with how hospitable and responsive she was. When our schedules finally did align to meet, she was so sweet in person too.
Overall, this was a great home base for a busy week in Victoria. Stasi gave me space but was happy to quickly provide anything I needed. Hope to come back one day for vacation instead of work :)
