Karen's house was wonderful for us. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, and we liked the location. We didn't want to be right in the city and it was only about a 25 minute drive to get into downtown. Karen's description of the house was very accurate and Shannon, the woman who met us to give us the key and show us around was on time and very pleasant. I would recommend Karen's place for anyone looking to stay around Victoria without being in the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.
