We stayed at Joan's place while visiting Victoria for the Royal Roads convocation. The space was exactly as described, only better in person. Super clean, cozy, well-appointed (enough dinnerware and wine glasses for a large dinner party if you should so choose), lovely comfortable furniture, and super comfortable beds with quality linens. The house is centrally located - easy to get downtown or up to the airport - and a few minutes' walk to Cherries Breakfast Bistro and The Crooked Goose (highly recommend both). Would absolutely stay again.
