Ideal vacation spot

The hosts were very accomodating. The place was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped. We cooked most of our own meals. The host had a well supplied bathroom cabinet complete with bandaids and dental floss. Although we didn't have any children visit, there is a cupboard supplied with children's books and games.We were there for 5 weeks and found it very comfortable.

Nice daylight basement space

Good space, mostly just slept there. The space was clean. It is an older daylight basement space that has been updated recently - everything except carpet looked new or nearly new. I had no communication with property manager but they were home so I am sure they would have been responsive if anything was needed.

This property is quiet and home like. It is clean and well kept. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is small but has everything you need including nice warm water and good pressure for the shower. Bedroom is large. Bed is comfortable. Lots of places to keep your clothes and belongings. I was staying here to attend an event at the university of Victoria. 5 minute drive to the university. Easy 20 minute walk to a local ocean beach. The location is a family neighborhood with many schools. Hosts were friendly but I felt like my privacy was respected. Response was kind and helpful when I needed to reach out for anything. I would recommend this as a place to stay.

Lovely stay

Bed was comfortable and they even provided a floor mattress for my adult daughter to sleep on. Very quiet and safe neighbourhood and had all the items included for a very comfortable stay. . Very clean, and the grey cat Teddy was lovely. Walkable distance to uvic which is what we came for. Thank you!

Close to the bus stop but not so close to downtown. You have all needed stuff in the suite. Kristine always responds very quickly.

I was attending DHSI at UVic and Kristina's suite was the perfect home base! Easy cycling distance to UVic or if taking the bus, navigating the transit system to and from Kristina's suite is simple, with the #12 to UVic close by. If you're looking to explore downtown, the #27 and #28 are also close by too. There's a locally-owned coffee shop, small grocery store and European deli nearby for all of your caffeine and food needs. Highly recommend.

Last minute booking

Hosts including young daughter are gentle, quiet, Christina goes to great lengths to get to know each other and feel relaxed before and during your stay. We absolutely loved the trampoline and were at ease about sharing the garden. We rented the suite last minute in between moving home for two weeks paying $101/night and I knew it would be a bit too small for two of us, brother and sister, we were there during a heat spell we didn't want to go out much. Well-supplied kitchen, good quality. Pillows and duvet really great top quality. Going through the garage to get out of the suite even to go into the backyard is not something I'm used to with the gas stains on the floor somehow always strong to breathe in and the garage gets hot in the summer. The suite was nice and cool though so that was really good. The TV is only cable and has no apps.
