Can't say enough about our stay in Victoria at Laura's. Our family of 4 made the trip for our vacation to introduce our young children to Victoria and their first time outside the U.S. Touring the museum and downtown inner harbour, Butchard Gardens, Butterfly and insect museum, plus local sites like a honey farm, winery, Elk/Beaver Lake and multiple playgrounds... Having a quiet and equipped place to slowly start the day with a home cooked breakfast, and then after the day's first adventure having a convenient/comfortable/fun place to rest ended up being as important if not more so than all the sites we visited. The location couldn't be more neutral (or prettier!) to visit different spots on the island and still have time to rest up in between. From the description we knew there was a tennis court but we didn't realize she also provides a load of equipment and different balls to play on it as well. But for me, I think the best part of the whole trip was watching my kids have a blast on her (netted) trampoline behind the tennis court. I could comfortably watch/listen to them laugh and play together from the bedroom balcony while sipping my afternoon coffee. Talk about joy! The hide-a-bed was memory foam (I believe) and decidedly more comfortable than I was expecting... We brought the kids' sleeping bags but didn't even need them. The master bed was very comfortable with soft linens, and the bathroom was well-stocked and very clean. This was our first Airbnb experience and while I was initially hesitant to stay in someone's home we didn't know, Laura truly made it feel like home.
