We stayed at Barbara's place for just over a week and it was simply perfect for our little family. The place was so clean, and cozy. I loved returning here at the end of my day at UVIC. Barbara even set up a cot for our 2 year old son. We were so sad to leave. It's right next to Mt Tolmie which has a gorgeous view of Victoria, and a very short walk to UVIC. Down the hill there are grocery stores and restaurants. Great location, great place, and very helpful and generous host!
