This apartment was great! Excellent location!! Just a short walk to all the town attractions- Empress Hotel, Bug Zoo, Minature World, the Wharf, Chinatown. Great shopping all around, and great restaurants!! Especially Fiamo's, just a couple blocks away.
The view is fantastic from the apartment. We could see the harbor, sea planes landing, and some gorgeous sunsets. It was a definite bonus. There is even a little balcony patio which is nice when the weather is nice.
The neighborhood is fine- safe, great sidewalks and shopping. The apartment building is very secure- no entrance without the key fob. Check in was easy as owner "buzzes" you in the first time. Also quiet. Never heard neighbors either side, above or below. Comfortable beds, good water pressure in the shower. Working kitchen and all the appliances were fine. Washer and dryer worked well.
It is easy to walk everywhere as the distances are short. We did end up renting a car for two days to go to some distant places, and having the parking spot in the garage was a plus.
Loved the Victoria trip and loved this apartment (and a great price also!)
