this Airbnb is exactly as described. It is right off a road in Victoria, but it is not as busy as others of noted. Yes, you hear when a car goes by. But it is mostly busy during the morning/afternoon rush to/from work. The water was hot in the shower(others have stated it was not hot), I had not issues. The bed was squeaky, but when you are sleeping you dont hear it! The only issue I had was the couch..not very comfortable, but it was better than nothing. The TV worked well(i just hooked up my computer to it). I like that you have control of the heat in the space. It was worth what you pay for.
