Winnie, was very welcoming, kind and accommodating. She opened up full access to her home, told me to make myself at home and did everything she could to make sure it was a good stay. She even connected me with a local business for some acupuncture and had great restaurant recommendations. Her place is located the great location of James Bay. Just a block from the ocean, walking distance to downtown and a short drive to many of the other local sites to see. The room has a great feel. I stayed a week and enjoyed my stay. Winnie is a very social host. She loves to have a good conversation and we watched two movies together during my stay. Her morning porridge was healthy and very tasty. If you are looking to have a quick morning meal prepared, she is happy to have it ready for a small charge. I would be happy to spend some time at Winnie's again the next time I am in Victoria. Thanks, Winnie!
