Nik and James were very welcoming (As well as their dogs!) and gave us lots of information about what to do in the area. They have a beautiful home, inside and out, and we loved the suite in the basement. It was completely private and had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable!
Their house is located about a 5 minute drive from downtown in a quiet neighbourhood. We didn't have pets with us, but this is a great place to stay if you do! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Victoria. Thank you Nik and James!
