We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lockside Airbnb. and found it to be very comfortable. The suite was exactly as pictured. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I appreciated the laundry facilities and I liked it having a drying rack for hanging clothes . The location was great about midway between Sydney and downtown Victoria with easy access to major routes. It was a short drive to Elk and Beaver Lakes (great for walks ), also Agate Beach, Parker Beach and about a 10 minute drive to Island View Park and Beach. All beautiful. Lockside Trail is just outside the back gate excellent for walking or biking. A short walk along the trail brings you to a food market, coffee shop tea house and other shopping with a cute outdoor courtyard. We continued along the trail and a short distance past the shopping we were able to find a street to access Agate Beach. Also short drive to Butchart's Gardens. We enjoyed the back deck and barbecue and the yard was very large, fenced and excellent for our little dog. Anne made sure our dog was as comfortable as we were. Her and her husband were very helpful and friendly . We were there in the Spring and the blossoms in the backyard were amazing , so beautiful.
