This upper suite in Cadboro bay was perfect for our needs and close walking distance to UVIC (albeit up a very steep hill). Our communication with our host was prompt and concise. She accommodated our need for scent free detergent on bedding and towels due to allergies which was very much appreciated. She also allowed for early check in but thanks to a very delayed flight we never used it. There were many thoughtful touches in the suite (toiletries, paper towel, oil and seasonings etc). The place was spotless, bedding and beds were comfortable and the neighbourhood lovely to walk around. We did struggle with the parking spot alotted to us as we'd return from a day of sightseeing to find it occupied by workmen and or her personal guests. We notified her and space was freed up immediately. We'd have happily parked along the adjoining road ( and did so once) but the only other spot is a fair ways away from the rental. The road that runs along her home is on a bus route and can be noisy from vehicles at night, especially as the master bedroom window opens to that street. Use the fan she provides and you'll be fine. We happily recommend this rental to others.
