The location of Nicole and Gilles place was fantastic. They live in a beautiful neighborhood that is walking distance from everything downtown and right by waterfront paths. My husband and I lucked out with chilly, clear, sunny skies and we walked everywhere! The basement apartment was clean and it had all we needed for a cozy comfortable weekend. Their family is very friendly and gave us recommendations of local spots nearby. They even stocked the refrigerator with some sparkling water and orange juice in addition to delicious muffins upon our arrival. We had the most wonderful stay and would highly recommend their place if you plan on traveling to Victoria.
