We had a great stay at Amanda's place while visiting the Victoria area. We have two young kids, and this place was perfect for us. We especially appreciated that it was one level (we did not have to worry about our 18 month old and stairs!), the washing machine/dryer, the large lawn and the kids books and toys. We had initially booked a place in downtown Victoria that was cancelled and Amanda was able to accommodate us on short notice. I think it ended up better for us in the end as we had more room and were very close to attractions like the Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly gardens, which both of our kids loved! It was a relatively easy drive into Victoria when we wanted to check out the city. I would highly recommend and would return with the family again if we are back in the area.
