We (a couple 68/71 years) stayed here 12 days, we used the place as a kind of a hotel, seen that we were visiting our son and his family 200 meters away from the house.
We enjoyed the place, and we appreciated the contact with the hostfamily, they were all very friendly and helpsome.
We loved the digital locking-system without key, which made it super easy for us to come and go.
We were fully informed about the kitchen-situation, and we didn't bother, because we had dinner by our family most days, but during our long stay at the place we sometimes were missing kitchen-facilities a bit.
If you are looking for nice snacks and very good coffee during daytime, we can highly recommend the cafe at the library, there are also several take away places near the supermarket at Esquimalt Road, and in the supermarket you can find fresh salads and fresh meals to heat int the microwave-oven
We will be very happy to return to Dylan and Beth's place next time we come to Esquimalt!
