I had to be in Victoria for a few days to visit UVic with my son. I was lucky to find Neil's place available because it is very close to the university. More importantly, the apartment is spacious, well-equipped, and spotless! Neil and his wife left food in the cabinets and fridge and also supplied cooking oil, etc. so that you can cook almost anything without having to buy the basics. I hope the apartment is available when I come to visit my son over the next few years!
