Joe‘s place is great, if you want to stay in Victoria, especially for a longer time. I spent 8 weeks there, due to a university related research stay. Joe and his roommates were extremely nice and helped me out wherever they could. They always had great tips on what to do over the weekends and what wa showing on in the city. The destination is just a quick 10 min busdrive away from UVIC, which was perfect for me. The direct neighborhood was nice and calm suburban stylish and it is only a 10 min walk to either Mt Douglas or the ocean.
Overall I enjoyed my time at Joe‘s a lot and I would definitely come back again!
