Typically, we tend to stay in the main core downtown but, due to late reservation, we ended up staying off the ‘beaten path’. We are so glad we did as we discovered this little hidden gem. Zehra’s place is located in a quiet neighbourhood only two blocks from Dallas Road and the ocean. It is located directly across the street from the historical Ross Bay cemetery. We popped into the cemetery a couple times and learned a great deal of Victoria’s history. Zehra’s cottage met our needs beautifully and she is an attentive host. She checked in with us a couple times to ensure that all of needs were being met. The tenant’s in the house connected to the cottage appeared to away and so we had the yard to ourselves and we enjoyed early morning coffee out on the deck. Overall, an enjoyable stay!
