About this property

Private & Cozy Home Away From Home

Ground floor suite in my beloved, peaceful home on a quiet street very close to everything! Fully self-contained, 1 bedroom; private entrance & as much of home as I could pour into it

Please email w/any questions regarding dates. It's a great, quiet, safe neighbourhood, with a 9-hole golf course only a few minutes walk away, along with a recreation centre, plus a 5km walking chip trail around the course. Hillside Shopping Centre is only a few minutes away. The #4 city bus offers transport to downtown within 15 minutes, and the stop is right around the corner. It's convenient to downtown, the University of Victoria, Royal Jubilee Hospital and Camosun College (Lansdowne Campus). Safe, street parking is available.

Warm, inviting, welcoming & charming. I hope you'll love it as much as I do. I hope you find it is a nurturing place for your stay.

*Just slightly higher than 6'1" ceilings. A few spots anyone taller will have to duck and one structural beam between the living room and kitchen that is sure to smart if you hit your head on it.

About the host

Hosted by Rita Chand

Host profile image
I have been a host on this site for 10+ years and have loved meeting the people who stay and seeing those return again and again. It has been a pleasure for me to be a host and to make my guests trips to Victoria more enjoyable wherever possible.

Why they chose this property

My dad and i shared a dream of me owning my own home. He was retiring and wanted to help me with a project. I looked for the right house for years and found this one shortly after my dad passed away. An inheritance gave me the opportunity to buy my own home. And while my dad isn't here to help me with the "project", I know he'd be proud of what I've done here. Every time I have a chance to be creative and create a room the way I want, I get to spiritually high-five my dad.

What makes this property unique

After being a landlord for 15 years, and hosted International students and knew I wanted something new. Creating this space has been one of the things I'm most proud of. Every piece is put together carefully and came together so perfectly. I poured my heart and soul into this "project" and I've never been prouder of it.

I want people to come experience the comfort of home and feel nurtured and have a wonderful stay. I hope everyone who stays here loves it as much as I do. (and I'm pretty sure my dad would be proud of me too.)
