We came to Victoria to help our son get settled as he was relocating here for school. We chose Thomas’ place, in part, because it was close to our son’s student rental. We believe we chose very wisely! Thomas’ place was lovely—clean, comfortable and quiet. We felt welcome from the minute we got out of our vehicle. Everything was just as described on the website. There was a binder containing many pamphlets and brochures about the Victoria area which we found to be helpful. We made coffee supplied by our host every morning. I’m not sure if it was a special kind, but it was the best coffee I’d had in a long time. We ate outside at the table on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. It felt like we were a long way from the hustle and bustle, but we were so close to everything. After hiking on trails and taking in the breathtaking views on the Island, we returned to Thomas’ place each night and had a comfortable and quiet sleep. Thomas answered our emails very promptly and he was so kind as to accommodate a last-minute change to our reservation. We feel that we could not have chosen a better place to stay. Thomas’ place was perfect for us!
