We didn't get to meet Lindy but Jason was an accommodating host. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking (minus spices), the fridge has some starter foods in it for your arrival, the floors are clean and beds are comfy. Jason drove us to the airport as a last minute request after our plans fell through and he also let us store our friend's expensive bikes in their garage so they would be safe. The only downside was that we found the apartment rather chilly with no large extra blankets around. They turned up the heat but it didn't seem to take the chill out too much. We wore extra clothing to bed to stay warm. Might have just been the Victoria chill and the cold spring weather at the time. We are from Ontario and used to much colder weather but hear the chill in Victoria this winter and spring is strong.
