Bill and Marg's place is in a lovely neighbourhood. Although it's in the city, it doesn't feel urban; lovely trees and flowering shrubs make it seem more intimate. The back yard is quite private because of the trees and hedges that separate it from the neighbors. Bill and Marg are a very nice couple and we enjoyed hearing their personal stories. You will need a car to get to downtown sites but in Victoria everything is relatively close and there are many small shopping areas scattered throughout the city. If you'd rather relax and hang out in Bill and Marg's comfy space you can do what we did, ordered food through "Skip the Dishes"; it was quick and inexpensive!
