Hosts: excellent communication for checkin and no need to really engage after that. Even though it’s in the same house it was private and we had our own space. We saw the owners once.
Apartment: it’s above ground basement apartment from the front and partially below at the back. The place was spotless. Coffee was available, but was kitchen was not well stocked with condiments etc.
Location: The location is great you can walk down to the water. There is a forest type trail very close and It’s a quick drive to many of the surrounding places. We never encountered traffic. We had and needed a car. The house is in a steep hill, if you have mobility issues and plan on walking you will have trouble walking from the water to the house.
Amenities: my son and I stayed and we used the air mattress which is not your camping type mattress, it is one of the large good quality ones that is a step down from a mattress. Plates, cups, mugs, small cooking items like salt where available but wasn’t stocked as well as some other Airbnb might be. Just think about that when you shop if you plan on cooking. Had shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels etc all available. Also had washer and dryer which is convenient although we didn’t find ourselves wanting to do laundry on vacation. No TV but excellent WIFi so that suited us just fine. No Kitchen table but they had a desk that could be folded out with 2 chairs.
Parking: street parking but always had a spot right outside the driveway which is really close. You do have to turn around to come back down the hill which was easy to do, and made it very light/if any street noise. Neighbourhood was great.
Overall I would stay here again, the location was great. We were here with a team and many of the other parents reported similar style and amenities so must be similar for Victoria area.
Great visit, maybe we will come back to Victoria again one day.
