I can't recommend Carolyn's studio highly enough. The space was clean, spacious, well-organized and beautiful. We could see the mountains from the front deck, as well as beautiful gardens. The kitchen and bathroom were well-stocked but with plenty of room to store our things. Everything we needed was close at hand: the walk to UVic is a pleasant 20-30 minutes, there are neighborhood restaurants and shops nearby, as well as several buses that run downtown, to UVic, etc. Carolyn and her family were helpful and hospitable but never intrusive. All around a fantastic experience that really made our stay in Victoria perfect.
