Our family was very happy to find this loft downtown. We came to Victoria on the ferry with our bikes and this was an excellent spot- 5 minute ride to the ferry terminal and to the Galloping Goose Trail. There are tons of nice restaurants in the surrounding blocks. It was very easy to take the local bus up to Schwartz Bay to kayak. I wish we had had more time to shop in all the lovely boutiques and explore even more.
