We enjoyed our stay at Gillian's place.
This is a nicely laid out, nicely decorated, spacious, well equipped basement suite. It does not have a full 8 foot ceiling height, so if you are extra tall, you should take that into account. Access to the unit was very convenient. There is ample street parking.
It is a short walk to Esquimalt Gorge Park and the paths along the beautiful Gorge waterway. Downtown Victoria is a 15 minute drive down Craigflower Rd. A shopping mall with Save-On is located a little less than 2 km away. There are numerous restaurants within easy driving distance but few within walking distance.
Gillian responded promptly to all messages and was able to answer any questions we had.
