Allison's upper unit is fantastic! We spent a week there and was completely comfortable. There are many great restaurants and coffee shops very close by. A very short walk to a large Save-On Foods for groceries. The location is very convenient to downtown Victoria, where we cycled to every day. There is a large population of homeless in the area, but we were never hassled or felt unsafe. We are looking forward to returning to Allison's place when we make our way back to Victoria.
