As a family of four on a budget, we were looking for a classy, spacious and reasonably priced home near downtown Victoria for 8 days over Christmas. Top priorities for us were 1) quiet and restful spot 2) spacious and comfortable 3) functional kitchen. We were delighted with Neil's place. It hit all of the top three above and so much more. SUPER comfy beds, great fireplace, fun and original decorations and was so welcoming. Both Neil and his home are so welcoming. He provided us with lots of "to do" tips, generously offered excellent and abundant firewood for the fireplace, and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend.
