Great apartment, exactly as shown, very comfortable. It's in the basement with a ground level entrance in the back but many windows so it's not dark at all.
The location is a 3 minute walk to the water where there is a beautiful paved path/boardwalk that goes all the way to downtown Victoria, running past several inlets and rock outcroppings -- a really beautiful walk, about 35-40 minutes to downtown. In the other direction the path leads to a small town and marina. Using the main road the apartment is less than a mile to the bridge which is on the edge of the downtown area.
The apartment is also about a mile from the start of a long and pretty bike/walking path, the Galloping Goose Trail, which leads to the start of another bike trail, the Lochside Trail, both long rides or walks. You can rent bikes from Trek Bikes (398 Harbor Road, Victoria) which is located across the street from the start of the Goose Trail.
