Absolutely recommended.
I've stayed at Kate and Andy's place for one month and that's a great place to settle down.
Andy and Kate are wonderful hosts, they instantly answered my numerous questions about the place.
The place is located in a great neighborhood with all the needed place nearby. I am a student at UVic, so it took me 15 minutes to get to the uni as there is a bus stop (11, 14 buses) is just in a 3 min walk (sometimes in 2 minutes if you are in a hurry :)). The variety of supermarkets nearby with Urban Grocery being the closest one (5-7 min walk), Fairway Market, Save on Foods.
The place is just a 30-min walk to the ocean with an amazing beach (you can get there using bus too, but I preferred to walk).
The place is quiet, has all the needed accessories (paper, kitchen supplies, hairdryer etc). There also is a patio with chairs you can work at. Excellent for a couple or those who travel alone as you will have a place all by yourself.
