PROs:
Fantastic location. Quite literally within walking distance of every cool & wonderful thing Victoria has to offer.
Clean, cute, well-appointed apartment.
Safe. Great security mechanisms thru-out building, elevator, & garage.
Own parking spot in garage below building.
CONs:
No one will meet you there in person- so carefully read email entry directions sent DAY OF ARRIVAL.
Double check your internet provider covers this part of Canada - we didn’t find out until outside the building that we were without cell coverage, with no where to park or make contact in-person😳. There is WiFi @ Starbucks just down the street.
Apt. is SWELTERING in SUMMER HEAT. There’s a plug-in A/C unit = big hose needs venting out OPEN patio door. So hot air constantly returning thru open door … and a few bugs 😉.
Since building is on major bus route between the 2 busiest streets that run thru Victoria, open door = constant thundering NOISE.
(With door shut, noise not bad at all, i.e. winter/spring/fall).
Plugging in A/C unplugs apt. WiFi set-up.
