I stayed in Barb's place for three weeks and felt most comfortable. The space has everything one might need, the kitchen is well equipped. Despite the basement space, it has lots of light and one looks into a nice garden. The area is beautiful with stately homes and beautiful gardens. One can walk in 1/2 hour to downtown Victoria, the Cook Street Village and Beacon Hill Park and the ocean. Any communication with my host was very efficient and most accommodating. I would certainly stay in her lovely house again.
