If you want to be in the heart of the city with great harbor views, but not surrounded by tour buses and souvenir shops, this is the place. We chose this location for its proximity to China Town, which boasts authentic cuisine, and a more hip vibe, which we got from the cute shops and trendy coffee spots. We did not rent a car, so walk ability was a must. Best rated restaurants and excellent brunch options were only steps away. Couple with sweeping views of city and Olympic Mountains and the location of this airbnb condo is magical.
The space itself is a simple studio apartment with full kitchen complete with supplies (if you don't intend to eat your way through Victoria like us). There is a very modern style to the space that mixes minimalist and luxury with loft artist. Even the bathroom has a mixed modern style with a walk in glass shower and subtle ambient light. Also, because I read the reviews of this and no one else has mentioned: a hair dryer is provided. It is a relatively cheap hair dryer, so bring one if you are particular, but since I travel light, it was nice to have. Bonus: The space is quiet. We never saw, nor heard, neighbors.
Alex, the host, met with us personally to provide the keys and give us a run down of the space. It was a nice touch. He also provided insider recommendations for places to dine and activities.

After exploring, hiking, touring, and dining, the end of our days in Victoria concluded with a satisfactory sigh and the expression of returning "home" to the condo. We felt at ease in the space and knowing we could return safely to a comfortable night's sleep made our vacation that much more enjoyable. Consider this review a resounding recommendation.
