Seeking Victoria accommodations in a lovely, quaint neighbourhood nearby the downtown core as opposed to a downtown condo or hotel, I chose the Abbeymoore Manor and am certainly glad I did. Located in a very elegant neighbourhood lined with Grand Arts and Crafts heritage mansions along leafy streets, it totally fit the bill.
Check-in was a breeze. The room, 'The Master Bedroom', was large and lovely with large windows, lots of natural light. Direct access to a semi-private deck overlooking the beautiful neighbourhood was an absolute treat. The modern bathroom was a very good size. The bed was very comfortable with super soft linens.
The owner, Jeff, was very welcoming and accommodated securing bikes, etc. It was also immediately obvious that he has a great sense of humour.
Note: Breakfast is not included in the AirBnb rate but Abbeymoore serves a two course, gourmet breakfast daily at an additional price per person. You can communicate with the owner to let them know if you are interested in that option. Can't tell you how unique and incredible the breakfasts were and how enjoyable it was to have it served on the front patio just outside the main dining area as the weather was amazing. Those breakfasts will certainly tide you over til dinner. Consider doing the breakfasts at they are well worth the cost.
The staff were all so professional, friendly and very helpful. To Jeff, Yoko, Tim, Henry and the others .... thank you so much for an incredible stay. I will definitely be back. Cheers, Christine
