Carene was away in Vancouver when we arrived, but her friend, Sue, welcomed us warmly, went over the particulars of the B&B and made us feel at home. The accommodations were clean and as described, making our first visit to Victoria comfortable and memorable. The location is picture perfect. It is walking distance to downtown, plenty of fine restaurants in the immediate area and Fisherman's Wharf, where the house boat is docked, is quite charming with friendly harbor seals, talented local musicians busking and several small restaurants within just a few steps. Carene met us in the morning and was a pleasure to talk with about the area and our plans. All in all, it was a pleasurable, long weekend in Victoria and Carene's hospitality was at the forefront of the experience.
