My parents & I enjoyed our stay in this central Victoria apartment. The location was conveniently close to everything downtown--comfortable walking distance to the waterfront & near public transport. As expected with a downtown location, you could hear some of the city sounds at night in this 3rd floor apartment. Rick was helpful with ideas for meals & touring the town. We traveled to the island via Pacific Coach & were dropped with carry-on luggage 1 block from the apartment. The airport shuttle was also able to pick us up about 2 blocks from the apartment.
