The house is central to a variety of places such as the Victoria Waterfront, Canal Walk, or the Vineyard Hotel if you want to have lunch there. If you're a coffee lover, there's a cafe right around the corner, or you could check out the pizza shops or other cafes nearby.
Even on those you don't feel like getting out, the house is extremely comfortable to stay in. It feels like you're inside, but you're outside, like one of my friends said. Of course, whatever images are posted match reality. There's nothing to worry about. On top of that, I couldn't believe I did laundry every day.
Michael is a gracious host, very friendly and welcoming. Do not be afraid to ask questions if you have any.
