Sophie and Rob's place was a great place to stay. When we arrived, we stepped into a bright and airy apartment space with all the comforts of home. The apartment was spotless and filled with thoughtful amenities. Sophie had stocked the refrigerator with a few groceries to get us started and a surprise bakery cake to honor our wedding anniversary. There was a washer/dryer, microwave, Netflix movies, and lists of suggested activities and restaurants. The entire family welcomed us when we arrived with their young daughter being a very enthusiastic "junior" hostess. Victoria is a lovely place to visit. If you are looking for a "home away from home" in a peaceful residential area near the beach, look no further. It would be an exceptional place for a long term stay.
