My two month stay with Anna in her upstairs room was perfect for my needs while I completed a rotation at the nearby Royal Jubilee Hospital. This location absolutely can not be beat for anyone looking to stay in the Oak Bay area, and her quiet home is near a large grocery store, recreation center, several banks, coffee shops, restaurants, and quaint residential streets lined with gorgeous character homes. If you're looking to venture out to explore downtown Victoria, it's a quick and easy direct bus ride there and back.

The house itself is well equipped, has fast reliable wi-fi, a large shared kitchen where you can prepare meals, laundry facilities, a shared bathroom with tub, and a living room area that can be used in the evenings. Her two cats are a treat as well!

Anna herself is a warm and very organized host, which made checking in and out a breeze. She is quite knowledgeable about the city of Victoria and will happily take the time to give you some tips and directions to make your stay a memorable one. She will often have other travelers in her downstairs room, and this was a nice way to meet some great people from around different parts of the world.

I will miss my blissful time in Victoria, and would happily stay in Anna's home again if the opportunity arose.
