Our airbnb was perfectly fine in every way. It was on the ground floor at the back of the house (and so was quiet). It seems to have been newly updated and was very clean and modern.
It was located in a pleasant suburban area (Oak Bay) on a quiet street. The ocean and a popular beach (Willows Beach) are only a few minutes walk away, A good gym facility (with a pool) is about the same distance in the other direction. Downtown and the harbour area are also easily accessible by car or bus.
George, the owner, was a good, helpful, decent guy and immediately responsive.
All in all a very pleasant stay.
