The Carriage House is a fantastic pick for an easy, high-value stay in Victoria on a budget. The location is excellent, the breakfasts while simple are tasty and fresh, and the room feels larger than pictured. Showering under a private skylight was an added delight. (Caution: It might be less of one if you're over 6 feet tall.)
If you are looking for a silent stay, this may not be the place for you. The breakfast table is shared with other guests and, occasionally, you can hear floormates' footsteps (likewise, they may have been stirred by my partner's cold-weather cough).
Our expectations matched the price and we were thrilled with our stay. Many thanks to warm-hearted Dan and Naoko for providing this affordable, easy and comfortable accommodation in Victoria.
