Leonard and Valerie were great hosts. They communicated with us several times before we arrived. After arrival there was a nice hand written note welcoming us and also included pages of things to do and places to go while in Victoria. They didn't bother us at all but invited us to come and say hello if we wanted to (which we did.) The neighborhood was full of cute little bungalow type houses and we felt completely safe there. The suite was also within walking distance of restraunts, a great coffee house and organic grocery store.
