Nicole and Gilles were wonderful hosts, and the apartment was beautiful and spotless as described. The location was fantastic and we really enjoyed walking to the shops, the beach, parks, and even downtown. The only thing I would suggest to other travelers (because I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Victoria!) is that they bring a sound machine or maybe some earplugs if they are light sleepers. This is a basement apartment under the main residence, and so sound is a bit of a concern. I am a very light sleeper so I always like to know those kinds of things when choosing a place. But that is the only concern (and it isn't a concern if you are not a light sleeper--the hosts were very considerate) as we really enjoyed this place a lot!
