Nicole and Gilles were great hosts. The apartment was clean and bright. We were given a tour of the apartment upon arrival and given some suggestions for restaurants and where we can rent bicycles. We loved how it was just outside of the downtown area away from the busy streets, but close enough that we can walk to everything, including a great little restaurant in Oak Bay called Blighty's Bistro. We were also very close to Cook St. which has some great restaurants, coffee shops (we personally loved Serious Coffee) and grocery stores. We can't wait to visit Victoria again!
