Lovely spot, had nice character and charm and everything we needed near by! Great spot to explore Victoria from. Jenn was lovely to work with and worked with us to extend our checkout which was very kind and generous AND she had the best restaurant recommendations!

Nice Home in a Great Location

Very comfortable home, well appointed kitchen, terrific communication with Jenn! We only used mainfloor part of the house. Our only complaint would be using the TV requires advanced engineering degree, but this is likely more of a sign of my age than of the tv, All in all this was a great spot, very convenient for touring around Victoria.

Perfect Location

The house is filled with funky and whimsical touches that made it a delightful place to stay. The location is close to bus stops, which made traveling around the city easy. It’s also within walking distance to restaurants, a mall, and a fabulous bakery.

Sweet little place with a great host

The house feels very well-loved. It has a real sense of personality, warmth, and whimsy. I appreciated my dealings with the host and how accommodating she was. It's cozy, as mentioned in the listing, but there's a very smart use of space (the kitchen has everything you need to cook full meals.) If you do have mobility issues, though, the bathroom is really tiny and the steps to the basement are quite narrow. But overall, I'd definitely recommend.

Great spot for the weekend

Just stayed for 3 nights. House is great, clean and good location. We arrived vis our ebikes on the Ferry from Port Angeles and rode all around the area. Kudos to Victoria for the amazing bike lanes! Nice shed to lock bikes up right out front, would have been great if there was access to power to charge the bikes. Good dog walking neighborhood. Store close by, side note the liquor stores are separate. Mattresses were a little hard/uncomfortable for me. Bathroom is small. Great lil Sonos speaker in the house, recommend downloading the Sonos app, connecting and then you can play what is on the app. Great ambiance music. Recommend walking down Fifth ave to eat at 5th St Bar and Grill, great patio and good for dogs to come. Pizza was delicious! Would not recommend riding down to downtown via Jackson, tons of homeless everywhere, instead -go left out of the house and hit the Galloping trail, much safer. Thank you Jenn for being such a great host!

Pretty rough not going to lie. If the beds were both changed i think it would be quite a bit better, there is no reason there should be a double in the basement (an awful one at that).Barely slept, pretty bad layout, fridge had a bunch of spoiled items/random cooked things. It all felt a bit lived in and could use a good deep clean.I think with a good clean and a couple of 300 ikea queens it would be closer to a 7/10. My poor pregnant wife had a terrible time, and my mother had a tough time with the staircase, but that is kind of unavoidable. The roof in the basement is 6ft. I suggest using the outside stairs (ownwr could improve them) - outside estethic was pretty poor. Good couches, pretty stocked house, price is right, but it needs some love for sure. Some strange artwork!
