Great location to explore Victoria, love the apartment itself, excellent use of space, everything you need, but unfortunately the view was not as advertised as there is a building going up next door - only 12 yards away at the nearest point, which severely impacts the outlook. Moreover, construction noise approx. 7am to 4pm weekdays was horrendous, but just as one would expect if warned, as future tenants now are. Prior to being updated the listing said, "there is some construction going on right now at the building entrance." This apartment is on the fifth floor. The saving grace is the wonderful outside public area on the 5th floor at the end of the hallway, which I frequented instead of the patio in the apartment. Host Owen was also very responsive and did what he could to make amends. I would definitely stay here again despite the limited outlook but after construction of the adjacent building as complete.
