Nestled in a quiet neighborhood of Victoria, you'll find the comforts of home and a serene place to unwind after a busy day. Bathed in natural sunlight, the amply spacious, well-appointed, pristine property is even better in person—fireplace, library, sofa, an efficient kitchen, a place to intimately dine. It was a pleasant surprise to find fresh coffee grounds and sugar to concoct my brew in the provided Bodum French Press.
In the bedroom, there's an oh-so inviting comfy queen-sized bed, a night stand, a chest of drawers, a large comfy chair, as well as cubbies to house incidentals. Additionally, there are French doors separating the enormous living room from the bedroom—a feature not often found in rentals—allowing one the freedom to prepare breakfast or watch television and not disturb sleepers catching a few extra winks.
Kerstin & Jan, you thought of everything for your guests, even down to the well-placed night lights. One can tell by the niceties and the design & layout of Hummingbird Place that you are travelers yourselves.
When I visited in mid-January, the weather was still quite cool. The radiant-heated tiles throughout made the entire space so cozy, and, to sit in the library by the fireplace, was Heaven.
The location of this property is ideal for travelers wanting to experience Victoria sans the hustle and bustle of downtown crowds. It truly is a charming neighborhood with shops, eateries, a grocery store and a natural food market within an easy walk.
And, although the studio is attached to the main house, we only heard faint “living noises” day/night. Disappointedly, I did not meet Kerstin or Jan but I knew they’d be responsive if needed.
Would I return? You betcha!
