This was my first Airbnb stay, and it was absolutely lovely. The suite was very clean and comfortable, and it really is only minutes by bus to downtown Victoria (as well as Tillicum Mall where a big movie theatre complex is located). Rhona has compiled an entire library of information about Victoria and the surrounding area, including a guide with her personal ratings of local restaurants. The best part for me was definitely being right on the Gorge Waterway ... it was beautiful to look at from the suite, and even better to walk along. Oh, and homemade granola and oat cakes ... delicious treats!
