This stylish flat was very convenient for exploring Victoria, especially if you love shopping and dining out. We appreciated the booklet of recommendations. Parking is a block away, so plan to unload in the parking lot behind the building, and then re-park in the other gated lot - it's a complicated process the first time. Street noise in the early morning is definitely an issue, so bring ear plugs. The walls/windows provide no sound barrier. We highly recommend brunch at Mo:Le across the street and dim sum at Golden City; and Perro Negro tapas for dinner. The wall-mounted heaters are tricky to turn off (dials are sometimes backwards), and there is no fan in the bathroom; adjust as necessary. The biscuit place below the flat is actually really good; we only tried them out as we were on our way home.
