Gary was a superb host. He was waiting for me at the airport upon arrival and on the way home he took me to the grocery store and gave me a tour of Victoria. He also drove me back to the airport. The upstairs apartment is actually a home with everything one needs for either short or long term stays. The description in the listing was accurate. I stayed for one month and was completely satisfied. The residence is a 5 minute walk to the Galloping Goose Trail, which continues past a supermarket complex (15 minutes more) and then onward to downtown Victoria (another 15 minutes). The neighborhood is safe and quiet, great for peaceful sleeping. I highly recommend staying with Gary while in Victoria.
