Anna communicated well so I didn't have any stress about the accomodation. She and her husband welcomed me to the house and showed me around. They gave lots of useful advice about getting around the city (be sure to visit Mount Douglas park, it's very nearby and great for hiking and running!) and were always there whenever I needed anything. Jakob even borrowed me his bicycle so I could explore the biking trails in Victoria!
The apartment is spacious and very well equipped (loved the rainshower!), and you can also sit on the deck to enjoy the garden. The neighbourhood is residential, quiet and friendly, with a market within walking distance. It's also easy to take the bus downtown, it'll take you there in half an hour. I had a great week and would recommend staying with Anna and Jakob!
