Nicole and Gilles offer a compact, but fully equipped smart, clean and comfortable studio. Tea, coffee, sparkling water, juice and snack facilities were a welcome boon for our late night arrival. The location is just a five minute walk from the centre of Cook Village which offers a great range of dining options, coffee houses and local pub, as well as supermarket, pharmacy and other local shops. A 20 minute walk into downtown Victoria is easy-going, passing parks en route, and the downtown bus route is just 2 minutes away from the property. Nicole and Gilles are very friendly hosts, offering every assistance with any query. Their studio bookshelf has a wealth of visitor information, including useful pamphlets on the many varied and interesting walks in the immediate vicinity. We would not hesitate to revisit chez Nicole & Gilles.
