This was a wonderful place to stay for Victoria & Vancouver Island. Easy access to inexpensive public transportation, very quiet neighborhood with lovely nature trails all around, one of which is a 10 min walk from an excellent restaurant, a 15 min walk to an extensive food store that has everything, including organic produce.

A comfortable apartment with a bath and TV/cable

The only challenging thing for seniors like ourselves is the steep outside staircase and high entrance step which is a problem with our big luggage...Also it would be nice to have a few extra things in the apt to facilitate the first day: minimal food items, bus tickets to downtown and maps & tourist information as this location is out in the suburbs. However we were blessed with some human angels: the owner who met us at 1am and helped with our luggage and some lovely women at the bus stop who gave us bus tickets & showed us how to change buses and get to downtown and how to find an organic coffee shop and the tourist offices...

Anyway this place is very good value as the hosts charge very reasonably compared to other places. And were open to any questions by sms. Highly recommended and would go back again (but without heavy luggage!)
