Rene and Stephanie's charming, secluded garden cottage in the heart of Victoria's Oak Bay neighborhood provided just the right combination of first-class accommodations accented with the comforts of home. Everything was very clean and well appointed. After reading my profile, the hosts thoughtfully provided gluten-free bread for my continental breakfast, even though I hadn't asked them to do so. There is a smart TV, so I was able to stream some favorite shows. The bed is comfortable, there are plenty of towels, and there are room-darkening shades. I was also happy to be able to set the baseboard heaters to a comfortable temperature. All in all, Rene and Stephanie did a superb job of making me feel welcome in their home while still giving me privacy, peace, and comfort.
