This was my first experience using AIRBNB and was very nervous going to a private home. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Rene & Stephanie were there if I needed them but not in your face. Out of all the choices this was the best for me as it was separate from the main house and did not feel that I was invading a strangers home. They were both warm and welcoming. Helpful yet gave space.
The very cute 'garden cottage' was clean, warm and had everything I needed. Kitchen is contained but had what I needed plus+ : microwave, little fridge, kettle, coffee, tea, table top heat warmer and of course the yummy muffins that were there upon my arrival.
The location is maximum 5 minute walk to the beach. Oakbay is a lovely residential area that you can spend many hours walking. It is centrally located to get to the beach as well as downtown Victoria.
Privacy and safety is important to me and that is what I got. A perfect place for a romantic getaway or retreat for someone who just needs time alone.
I would highly recommend the garden cottage. It was quant and cozy. The shower has excellent pressure and the bed was comfortable. The place was simply charming!
Thank you Stephanie & Rene! I hope to come back when your garden is in full bloom.
