We were bummed that Allison wasn't here while we stayed, mainly because my husband is an architect with interest in LEED building practices and it would have been wonderful to talk more with her about this space and the building, BUT her friend Leah made us feel welcome and showed us everything upon arrival - she even dropped off a design package on the house, which was wonderful. The space is perfect and perfectly located. We were travelling with a toddler - and the space was actually pretty perfect for her too. There are dozens of amazing restaurants and parks close by. I'm not sure I have enough space to list everything I loved - but here's a try. Beacon Hill Park and Petting Zoo. Fernwood Coffee Company. Stage in Fernwood Square. Fernwood Square. Leroy the Cat. Habit Coffee. Victory Barbers. Bastion Square. Little Yellow Water Taxis. Victoria Public Market. Carnarvon Water Park. As each of our evening's out and about came to an end and we told our toddler that it was time to go 'home' she'd fuss and say, "No, I want to go to Allison's house." Needless to say, she loved her stay here too.

Many thanks to both Leah and Allison for making our visit to Victoria perfect. We hope to be back soon.
