Winnie was a fantastic host and made me feel more like a roommate than a guest. The room had a nice window (with some nice plants) facing away from the traffic, so instead I woke to the sound of birds in the morning. The room has a great desk and power strip for charging my laptop and devices (a thoughtful touch). The bed was nice and comfortable too.

Finding her condo was easier to spot because of the Airbnb keychain she left out for me near the entrance.

It's a nice quiet friendly neighbourhood seconds away from the beach and ocean. The view is spectacular and good for morning walks along the beach, or for doing yoga.

July is a great time to visit, as it also happened to be the Busker's festival. Plenty of street entertainment, just a walk away from Winnie's Airbnb.

There's a wonderful breakfast joint "Cup of Joe" in a nearby neighbourhood in James Bay recommended by Winnie. I also recommend it and having breakfast from their great menu. It's a bit tricky to find, but look for dollar store in James Bay and it's below it.

I will keep Winnie's Pine Yoga Studio Bedroom on my favourite lists when visiting in Victoria again. My pleasant stay in Victoria was all made by superhost Winnie and Anya, her great cat. See you again sometime, Winnie.
