Everything about this unit was perfect, we have never been to a Vrbo that was so well equipped for guests right down to salt pepper sugar etc that many other units seem to miss. The host Ruth was most accomodating, and full of suggestive ideas for sightseeing adventures. The view of her gardens, to the views of the cruise ships visiting Victoria, and the distant snow-capped mountains was exceptional. All in all, a clean tidy fully prepared and functional rental. On this, we would give it more than the 5 stars allowed!
The rental is on the lower level
