We had a terrific stay in Agata and Ira's place! They were kind enough to wait for us to walk up from the ferry, and gave us a quick tour.

This was our first AirBNB rental, and we thought it was terrific. One thing that we really liked is that this apartment is a rental, so it's not full of the owner's clothes, food and other personal items. That may not matter to some people, but we prefer a full-time rental.

The location is outstanding. The apartment is a short walk from the center of town, and there are dozens of restaurants within a few minutes' walk. The little harbor ferries are less than 100 feet from the front door of the apartment.

Agata and Ira left a very helpful note in the apartment outlining some of their favorite places for food, drinks, etc. The Canoe restaurant, which is directly across the street, is excellent. We also really enjoyed Jam Cafe, another of their recommendations, for breakfast. We also loved Ferris Oyster Bar and Willie's (breakfast).

Despite the central location, the apartment was remarkably quiet. On the few occasions that we encountered neighbors, they were invariably friendly.

The rooftop deck was outstanding. Beautiful views and great times with some great Canadians that we met and shared some drinks with. We like to think that we collectively advanced the noble cause of Canadian-American relations!

We would absolutely stay in this place again, and we recommend it to anyone going to Victoria.
