It is hard to evaluate which is better, Anita’s apartment or its location.
The apartment was exactly as described and depicted in the photographs. It is a studio suite with an attached kitchenette, with private access via a keypad and coming and going feels very private. The apartment is tastefully furnished with high quality furniture and linens. Access to the back garden with its beautiful view over the bay is a bonus. All the technology (wifi, tv) worked seamlessly and Anita was very prompt and responsive with communications.
The location is residential, but a short walk (5 minutes/1 minute drive) from a cafe/bakery, a medium walk (20-30 minutes/7 minute drive) from a charming high street with shops and restaurants. It is also about a 15 minute drive from downtown Victoria. The area is peaceful and the view is stunning. The house is so close to the water that at night you can hear the waves on the rocks. It is a perfect area for walking and biking. If you want to be in the middle of things and close to bars and restaurants and lively entertainment, this is not the place for you; but if you want a serene retreat in one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Canada, a short drive from downtown, then don’t hesitate to book.
I highly recommend Anita’s apartment and am already planning a return.
