I had such a great time in Robert, Elaine and Frances' place. They were very sweet and helpful! The sweet studio is a magical little place filled with all you need to be entertained if you were to be homebound for some reason (books, interesting objects, a comfy bed and sofa, a lovely fireplace, cable and apple tv). As I was cycling a lot I also had a lot of "recovering" to do which meant "why sit when you can lie down" and got to enjoy the studio. The location was perfect for me- not in the noisy centre but very close by bike. Waking up and opening the window to see a little bambi right outside was magic. Thank you three for letting me feel so at home and I hope I have been a good guest too so that you will have me again one day! I love Victoria, it is so amazing how you can feel you are in such a developed place then drive 1 hour and be in the wilderness! It is very special, especially for cyclists with all its good tarmac, varying between flat and rolling hills and bigger inclines. Also all the trails that allow you to go for longer distances avoiding busy main roads. Definitely visit Victoria, definitely stay at Robert, Elaine and France's place!
