We enjoyed our stay at Rob and Jen's place. It was easily able to accommodate our 2 family group of 10; however there are some improvements that could be made to have this airbnb fit the description better.
Pros: Ample space for large party of guests. Great location. Easy quick access to downtown Victoria. Quiet property with no disturbances. Well equipped with household items you need. Ample indoor and outdoor space.
Cons: West facing windows of home definitely need blinds or curtains. Yes we went during a heat wave, but even if no heat wave the house gets hot. With no AC, the blinds could have kept house cool.
Fans are needed in every room. There are only 2 small table top fans. Sleeping comfortably at night was difficult. Standing fans in each room is a must if no AC.
Bathrooms doors need to close fully and lock. We managed, but this is an easy fix that should be done.
Appliances are new, but not efficient. Stove and oven took forever to heat up. Personally not a fan of induction heating. BBQ needs some love and cleaning. Clearly it has been used a lot. The outdoor kitchen had a bee hive or wasps nest in the cupboard by the gas access, so we did not use after first day
Flies! Being on a rural property, flies are expected. I feel the heat made it worse. Some solution should be found for this. Swatter was well used by the kids
The lake access is really not access to a lake. It would be better described as access to a paved bike or walking trail. The body of water was marshy and not for use as we assumed. But if you have a bike, great boardwalk trail area to go out and explore.
Dining room chairs, which for a large group was used a lot, were too low for the dining table and uncomfortable. The home is very esthetically pleasing to the eye, but the functionality wasnt there. Looks great but practical use is paramount in home furnishing
Overall we are happy with our stay. Our review is in hopes that some of the suggestions can be worked on to make this airbnb even better.
