Our family stayed at Liza and Alex's wonderful apartment for two weeks. It was an all around great experience.
The apartment was pristine when we arrived, everything was as we expected only better. The apartment is so open and incredibly spacious (I was envious of the amount of kitchen storage and counter space). Sitting on the sunny balcony reading and admiring the beautiful garden is also a nice way to pass the time.
Liza and Alex are incredible hosts, they really cared about us having a great visit to Victoria, especially for our little ones (4 year old and 2 year old).
My partner was studying at Royal Roads for a couple of weeks so the location could not have been better for us (you can see Hatley Castle from the window!). It's a lovely 30 min walk through the woods and gardens to the university campus. Even if you aren't studying I would highly recommend doing this at least once.
You can walk to the beach in 7 minutes and enjoy gourmet food trucks on Friday and Saturday's.
It is also a perfect jumping off point to explore the region (Witty's Lagoon & Sooke Potholes are great spots nearby to explore with kids).
I would highly recommend staying here.
