The delightful hostess really cares about your comfort and keeps you up to date about activities around the house to expect. The suite is very comfortable and well decorated. It has all the amenities a traveller might need. I felt like home. Monika's place is also very well located: it's only a 15- to 20-minute drive to Victoria, Uptown and Mayfair. A Save-On is nearby for groceries. The access to Mount Douglas Park and its beach on the ocean is a huge bonus. The views of Victoria, UVic, the San Juan Islands, and the Saanich Peninsula are to die for. I went up several times during my stay. It is only a 20- to 30-minute hike to the top and about the same to the beach from the suite. Walking through the misty or sun-drenched forest is inspiring to say the least. I highly recommend this place.
