Joan welcomed us with kindness and a place ready for us to spend our vacation week, just as described. They also had tips and brochures to things to do in Victoria, which helped a lot, since it was our first visit there! The experience was delightful! Joan and Ken were wonderful hosts and their place was perfect for us: located at a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. We've enjoyed our stay from the first day on: jasmine and rosemary scents coming from the garden, and deers in the yard, it was pure magic! Thank you Joan and Ken for providing extra pillows and bed sheets for our little one; for the awesome lego duplo to play; for letting us do laundry, and for spending time with us for a coffee and chocolates! We look forward to coming back for more vacation time in Victoria, and we will definitely book your place again! Highly recommended!
