I can really recommend the garden suite for a stay in Victoria! It is really well located to explore the downtown. It is just a 15 minutes bus drive from there and the bus stop is really close. Also it has a nice sea access within walking distance and you do not need to drive through the city's traffic to get there. Mauro was a really great host! On one night we were preparing dinner in the small grill/ oven when suddenly the start button did not work anymore. We wrote a message and Mauro came over directly and took our potatoes to his kitchen to cook it. Exceptional hospitality.
Also the apartment was bright and clean and had some general supplies in the kitchen like coffee or salt. I would definitely recommend this accommodation!
