Anna is an absolutely wonderful host! She is really friendly and easy to approach if have any questions/ need any help. I stayed at her place throughout the school year and have no complaints whatsoever regarding the cleanliness or amenities offered (WiFi was strong/ laundry machines easy to operate). Anna was also very helpful when I needed to extend my stay due to the uncertainty around COVID-19. She cleaned my room biweekly and was thoughtful enough to let me use her dehumidifier when she noticed how stuffy my room was (I was reluctant to open the window regularly due to bugs).

The house itself is very central location wise with multiple bus routes within walking distance to/ fro downtown & UVIC. It's also very close to the Royal Jubilee Hospital & BC Cancer if you're doing anything there (I volunteer at BC Cancer and was thrilled to be within walking distance). The grocery store is just down the road too. Some of the major plus points for me apart from the things above were her cat (Shadow) and the electric piano in her living room (great for those with any musical inclinations). Shadow is a rather timid lil' lady at first but she'll eventually get used to you, especially if you pet her regularly :) I'm going to miss her furry face for sure!
