Staying with Caron and her family was wonderful, especially having a delicious breakfast included! The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and I found it quite easy to bus back and forth to downtown. Additionally, there is a shopping center within walking distance. I came on my bicycle to save on the ferry, and the ride to the house was not difficult at all, even though I'm not a hard core cyclist. The family was helpful, thoughtful and flexible, and even provided a cover for my bike in case it rained. (It did...) Check in was easy and they let me leave my luggage at the house when I arrived prior to check in time. Parking in the neighborhood would have been easy and the area felt quite safe.
I hope to stay here again in future summers as I continue to explore Vancouver Island and highly recommend Caron's place to other visitors.
