We really enjoyed our stay in the upper suite at Allison's home. Allison was away on business, so her friend greeted us and showed us around which was great. The suite itself is gorgeous and spacious; it is clean, simply & beautifully decorated and furnished, and has everything you need (extra towels and blankets, hairdryer, shampoo, etc). There are many windows which let in lots of beautiful light. Wifi is fast, the deck and kitchen get gorgeous light in the evenings, and the queen bed is firm. The neighbourhood is in a great location; it's quiet, feels safe, and while being off the beaten-path remains so close to everything in Victoria. We enjoyed walking five minutes to the Parsonage Cafe for breakfast in the mornings. Downtown is a super quick drive, but we love walking and enjoyed a 20 minute walk to the heart of the harbour/downtown area for dinner one evening. Dallas Rd and its ocean views are a 7 minute drive. The gorgeous Oak Bay area is a short 15 minute drive. Allison has a binder with great recommendations for local activities and places to eat, which was appreciated. We will definitely come back when we return to Victoria.
