The Fisherman's Wharf is a popular tourist destination, but privacy was not an issue at Carene's place; come night-time, the wharf is extremely tranquil. There is a limited amount of power going to the float homes, so you do have to be mindful of not doing everything at once (boiling water, blow-drying hair, charging phone etc.). The room is spacious and well-appointed - heated bed-sheets were a real treat for chilly February nights!
I was in Victoria for a personal trip. There were a few places along the busy main streets (Government Street, Wharf Street, Fort Street, View Street etc.) that I wanted to visit, but I was also keen to walk towards St. James' Bay and Beacon Hill Park - Carene's place is ideally located in the middle for those wanting to do both!
