Marc and Kathy's place is a fabulous little gem! We have stayed at many Airbnb's and this one definitely rates the 5 Stars. All the features of a high end hotel, but with the feeling of home. Super clean, modern and comfortable, it was the little things that created the warmth we so enjoyed - chocolates by the bed, snacks on the coffee table, frosted mugs in the freezer, milk and cream in the fridge, KICKING HORSE COFFEE in the cupboard (plus a few other essentials), and some lovely gifts for us to enjoy. Plus Marc was super friendly and attentive and always responded to our messages extremely promptly. He offered many great suggestions for things to do, places to eat/drink and where to find whatever we were looking for. For us the location was perfect as we had a vehicle and were visiting friends and family in both Sooke and Victoria. If you are looking to spend a lot of time right in Victoria it took us about 25-30 minutes to drive there, but if you choose to stay right in downtown Victoria you will miss the beautiful view of the lagoon right from your front door, the 5 minute walk to the beach, and the lovely nearby walks and hikes in Royal View Park. It will also be a long drive from Victoria to East Sooke Regional Park, which has some gorgeous trails. So really, you have the best of both worlds here. Plus you will have all the features mentioned in other reviews and in their listing (65 inch TV, surround sound, large record collection to enjoy, gas fireplace, etc.) Did I mention the coffee? You will not be disappointed if you stay at the Crow Bar; we definitely will stay here again if we get the occasion to do so.
