This was our first Airbnb experience and it was 100% positive! We were absolutely delighted with the home: the beautiful view of the bay, access to the beach, private outside deck with many kinds of birds flitting around; comfortable furniture and furnishings inside (everything we needed and more); easy access to bicycle/walking trails; not far from downtown Victoria by car but far enough away to enjoy the countryside and the quiet bay; a quick ride by bicycle or car to restaurants and grocery stores. Our hosts, Randy and Cindy, were just great--generous and kind: fresh flowers in several places in the house; a basket of treats and fruit on the counter; more "essential" foods and drinks in the refrigerator and pantry to get us started; and a special bottle of champagne to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. They communicated very well with us throughout the entire process of booking, arriving, settling in and leaving. We would do it all again in a heartbeat!
