I was in town for the Swiftsure sailing race. Karen's beautiful home is located close to the marina and all local attractions we were interested in seeing. Her home was lovely and Karen was absolutely wonderful. She is extremely friendly and welcoming. I was a little skeptical about sleeping on an air mattress; however, I woke with no back pain (my scale for a good bed). If I am ever in Victoria again, I would definitely stay with Karen if she is available. I highly recommend staying with Karen.
