Amy and Trent were great hosts! They were offering to help out if we needed something. We had everything in the studio, and enjoyed the cozy space with the sloped ceiling. I personally liked the window in the roof in the bathroom. The studio is bright and warm. There is a big walk-in closet with lots of room to hang up clothes, also even an iron and and ironing board. We enjoyed the coffee and tea which are a nice extra in amenities. With the separate entrance we had privacy and felt safe.
In general, the area is a quiet neighborhood with houses that have character and are kept up nicely. All those Oak trees and other trees - it was beautiful to walk down the street! We liked that Oak Bay is so close to Downtown, but yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of it. Oak Bay Avenue has all the stores/restaurants/cafés one needs. Personal tip: Vis-a-Vis (little french restaurant) has $9 breakfast before 9 a.m. during the summer (we still enjoyed it still last weekend). We had a good experience renting bicycles at O:B. And the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus tour is great to explore Downtown. Check Groupon for coupons.
