We stayed at Robert's place for 2016 Christmas and to summarize his place was centrally located (for our purpose), overall the house very clean, communication was great, kitchen was well equipped, the internet speed was good, bed , linens and bathroom were all very clean etc. etc.
The house was located in a nice community and place has a separate entrance on the side of his house overlooking the backyard. It is a 10 minute drive to Butchart Gardens from there. This worked for us since we came from Vancouver via ferry to Sidney in the morning, visited Downtown Victoria in afternoon and went to see the Buthcart Gardens for Christmas Lights in the evening and took the next day ferry back to Vancouver from Sidney.

The communication was great and Robert was available to answer any questions we had. We took an early morning ferry to Sidney so I requested and he let us check-in a bit early and also let us check-out a little late since all the ferries to Vancouver were booked and the earliest ferry we could get was at 4 in evening. The location was quite, the place was clean and the kitchen was well equipped and had everything. The bedroom and linens were clean.
In short, I could not have been more happier with the stay at Robert's place. Anytime we visit Victoria, we are going to stay at his place. Robert also left us some chocolates on the table for us which I think was a very sweet gesture as a host. Thank you very much for the chocolates. We also saw a lot of humming birds at his place :-)
Thank you Robert for letting us stay at your place!
