First of all, the room is much better than the pictures. It's a really cool place with a nice cozy sitout. Oak Bay is a beautiful neighborhood and willows beach is a relaxing 5 minute walk away. It's incredibly peaceful and you can smell the flowers blooming everywhere. It's super easy to get to downtown even if you don't have a car and need to take the bus like we did. We stayed here for a week and moved here from Vancouver with all our belongings. When we checked out they even gave us a ride to help us with our stuff. Carol and Clair are very kind hosts. We loved hearing them play the guitar during the evenings. This place has a soul... Highly recommended!
