We were booked to stay for a month and unfortunately upon check-in found the place dirty, including mouse poop in the pull out couch and behind the couch. We communicated with Martin’s house manager, Tara, immediately about our concerns and were told there were no live mice. We cleaned the studio apartment in an attempt to feel comfortable for our extended stay. Unfortunately at the end of our first week confirmed there were live mice in the apartment. We are grateful that Martin and Tara understood we were checking-out early and thankfully a refund was provided. Please note that they have committed to attending to these concerns, prior to renting this apartment again. The location is absolutely perfect. Steps from the ocean and beautiful walking path! There is a Thrifty Foods within 5 minutes, walking and a parking spot located at an adjacent apartment. James Bay is a beautiful location for those considering what part of Victoria to stay in.
