My dog and I loved our extended stay at Michael's lovely carriage house. We needed to stay due to a water leak at my condo and his place truly was a home away from home. It had a well stocked coffee station, cozy living room, and kitchen with all the basics for cooking. Location isn't too far a drive from the city, close to some great spots in Saanich. Michael was very responsive and accommodating. Definitely would stay again!
