We stayed at Jason's place to ring in the New Year in Victoria. It was located in a residential neighborhood - we had the lower level of the house, with our own entrance. Very close to downtown (about 6 minutes), but you do still need to drive or figure our public transit, which we chose not to do. The place was very spacious, clean, and had everything we needed (lots of extra towels and sheets, coffee, tea, etc.)! The bed was very comfortable, but very soft for those of you who do not like soft mattresses (I love them). The bathroom had heated floors which was great for a chilly winter night. Check-out time was at 10am, which was a little early for us after the New Year's, but we made it! Jason was very accommodating and responsive throughout the process! Would definitely recommend.
