I highly recommend staying at Gillian's basement suite in Esquimalt, Victoria, BC. The accommodations are more spacious than they appear on the listing, and there are large windows that let in a lot of light. The kitchen is well appointed, and everything was very clean and in good working order. The location is great, with easy & quick access to public transport, cycling routes, etc. There is a beautiful gorge and park nearby. Gillian is a very attentive host, and a pleasure to meet.
