This is a lovely apartment, well worth the fee charged. We were very happy with the accommodations. The kitchen was stocked with more than just basics. The location was perfect, - very convenient to Victoria and only a few minutes to Butchart Garden.
Having back problems, I was pleased to find the mattress surprisingly comfortable.
There are 3 steps down to the apartment level from the back yard. There is also a step down into the living room. Both have adequate railings, so they are not bad.
It would be helpful to have a luggage rack. There is lots of room in the apartment, but in the bedroom it is a bit tight around the foot and one side of the bed. The side could be alleviated by pulling it away from the window.
There is no air conditioning. Since it is a basement apartment, we found fan is all that is really needed on the few hot days we had.
I would highly recommend this apartment for a couple.
