Great experience. This little studio condo is in a brand new, clean building in Chinatown and has easy secured parking. The unit is on the top floor with a nice little view, is very bright and well laid out. We hosted dinners both nights we stayed and there was plenty of room at the table and to hang out in the living room with our Victoria family members. Furnishings are all new and the bed was comfortable (not too hard, which is nice). Well equipped little kitchen with loads of tableware. This is right Chinatown downtown, so there is some street noise...which is to be expected and didn't bother us one bit. There is almost no car traffic by late evening, but folks do wander about. With the windows closed we didn't notice any noise while sleeping. And I'm a light sleeper. Location is pretty awesome. Right out the front door there are lots of little shops, and some bigger ones too, like MEC and Lululemon. Loads of coffee shops at the doorstep (we favour Beans Around the World, which is reached by going through the brick passage-way to the interior side of the building) and two of our favourite breakfast places in Vic are super close (Mo:le is just a few steps down the same block and Jam is about a block and a half). The stars here are the hosts. Karen (owner) and her sister Margaret (manager) run this and both are terribly sweet and incredibly fast to respond to questions. We're new to Airbnb, but have rented plenty of vacation rentals in our time and these two gals are probably the best hosts we've come across. Hope to rent from them next time we're in Victoria.
