Wow! Where to begin.... I have stayed at many Airbnb's but this was 100% hands down, THE BEST stay I have ever experienced!! From making the original reservation to returning the key at check-out, everything went perfectly smoothly- really, it could not have gone better! Terry (and Jodi) have created a system for checking in and out that is clear and easily accessible both online and in a notebook that also contains recommended places to eat and other local information. How often do you find a place that is even better than it appears in the photos? I knew from the listing photos that I would love the place, but it was far better than I imagined! The space itself is exquisite. The decor is stylish and elegant, yet it is easy to get comfortable and feel at home in the space. Everything was perfectly clean and well stocked- the kitchen has all the equipment (pots, pans, dishes) necessary if you want to stay in and prepare meals rather than go out. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were wonderfully soft. One consideration for light sleepers may be that if you like to open the window at night for fresh air, there is definitely street noise; people talking, sometimes yelling and the occasional police siren. I can sleep through anything, so the noise was not a problem for me. The central location simply cannot be beat- it is just a few short blocks to the Ferry Terminal in one direction and in the other direction, the condo is surrounded by many of the best sights, shops and restaurants in Victoria. You don't need a car, but there is free and convenient parking below the building. One of the highlights of my visit was walking down to the pier in the evening to watch the sunset and see the parliament building all lit up. Absolutely Beautiful! Overall, this part of Victoria reminded me of a European city, quaint and beautiful and I felt very safe walking around the area both during the day and after dark. I am already making plans for a return trip next spring and will definitely be staying at Terry's place again!
