I absolutely LOVE this wonderful place! It was truly a home away from home. Joan and Ken are amazing hosts who made me feel welcome from the first communication via email and they were incredibly accommodating and easy to be around. I found the apartment to be everything I would ever need when I am in Victoria and I will be back. It is very close to UVic and is easy to find and so incredibly comfortable. The property is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood and is so pleasing. The layout of the studio apartment is perfect with a comfortable sleeping/living area with television, a desk with chair set up for working and a very comfortable bed. In addition, in the living area, Joan has found an amazing convertible sofa that turns into an additional bed. The kitchen is well appointed and spotless. There is microwave, a toaster oven, rice maker and various other appliances to make your stay very comfortable. The bathroom is perfect with a shower and ample towels. They even provide soaps and shampoos if you have forgotten yours!! And on top of everything, the storage areas for your clothes and personal items are abundant. I feel this is my new home when I visit my son at UVic!!!
