Noise is an issue, although the accomodations are spotless, spacious and very comfortable. Visitors should be aware that this is shared student accomodation, with almost no sound insulation. Quiet time is 11:00 pm, but a group was chatting and laughing until 11:45 pm, and a student could be heard quite clearly talking on his phone in the room next door until that time as well. Kyle responded promptly and pleasantly to our 3 phone calls from 11:15 to 11:45 pm, and we finally got to sleep after that. The info text we had received after booking this said that the kitchen was closed due to Covid, but when we checked, we were assured that it was available. The kitchen is small and used for meals by the students living there. The fridge had a lot of student food in it, which left enough room to store a bag lunch. The kitchen was clean. The location was excellent for walking to UVic.
