We had a lovely time staying at Bex's place and the location was perfect for us with many amenities such as grocery stores (Costco included), coffee shops, restaurants, liquor stores, etc., close by. The area is at the base of Bear Mountain which is a very safe area of greater Victoria, with public transportation an easy walk away, but I would still suggest a car rental for more convenient access to everything Greater Victoria and the Island have to offer.
The apartment itself was squeaky clean when we arrived, with a well-stocked kitchen for preparing home-cooked meals if desired, and two nice-sized bedrooms with comfortable queen beds. The shower had good water pressure and there was never any issue at all with the amount of hot water. If you have time to just relax for a day or in the evening after a long day's sightseeing, there are lots of TV options for entertainment. The wifi worked very well for us as well. The brand new, full-size washer and dryer were really great to have.
We found Bex's to be good value for the price we paid and the hosts, Bex and Virginia, were very friendly, kind, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. They made us feel very welcome and kindly provided us with some nice pastries on our arrival and some fresh (still warm) cookies the day before we left. We would definitely stay here again and really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Victoria, BC. I highly recommend staying here!
