We stayed here for two nights.
Pros
- oversized couch was great
-clean, large living space
-responsive host
-nice neighborhood
-nice linens, lots of towels
- nice furnishings
Cons
- the air fresheners and diffusers were absolutely overwhelming. we unplugged the diffuser, but there must have been another one behind a locked door. so strong it was nauseating, woke up with a headache every morning.
- it wasn't really clear from the listing that this is a lower suite. very little sound dampening. you hear every footstep from upstairs.
- the sewer pipes are exposed in one bedroom. Everytime they flush the toilet upstairs, it sounds like a tsunami in the room.
- basic cable...no sports, movie channels
- bare basics kitchen equipment, not really equipped to cook a decent meal for 3 people.
- beds are too big for the rooms. you can't even walk around the bed, small rooms. super firm mattresses, but that's just not my preference.
- parking is a nightmare. one small space for guests in a 4 car driveway. little to no street parking close by. steep driveway to walk back up.
-steep stairs on the left of building to access suite, no exterior lighting on staircase. this is not the place for anyone with mobility issues.
- $140 cleaning fee seems excessive compared to other listings of similar size.
Overall, good location. Close proximity to shopping, food, Victoria general hospital.
This place is staged for style, and makes magazine quality listing photos. Unfortunately, it's not quite there in functionality, cooking, etc.
