Prompt response to my booking, with words of welcome, and a quick response to a query of mine. Easy check-in with lock pad. I was welcomed by Alex and Lena and given the gift of a bus ticket, in addition to several goodies waiting inside. The suite was clean and tidy, and I quickly settled into the comfortable space. Alex checked in with me the next day to ensure all was well.
There’s Apple TV with Netflix, good WiFi and a binder full of information about how to get around, what to visit, where to walk, etc. Big, beautiful washer and dryer; motion-sensor night-light in bathroom; bedside reading lights - many thoughtful touches. The bedroom is at the quiet back of the suite. It has a chest of drawers and two handy, retractable hanging rods on the wall.
Bus stops are just across the street, northbound to Swartz Bay ferry and southbound to Sidney's shopping streets and through Saanich to Victoria. It’s a 20-minute walk to two large grocery stores and the many amenities along Beacon Avenue and about a five-minute walk to the pebbly beach at Roberts Bay.
I stayed almost six weeks and would choose Alex’s suite again in future. Very nice and conscientious hosts.
