We enjoyed staying at Tom's condo. It is central to downtown Victoria, where we could walk to the main shopping mall, a drug store, eateries, and restaurants. If I was a tourist, it would be very convenient to be able to walk around and see the city. If you are a comfortable walker, you could walk to some of the main sightseeing spots near the downtown area, or take a city bus easily. Tom provided great directions, and was quick to respond to my messages. We found the building tenants and the neighbourhood quiet during our stay over Christmas. I very much appreciated the following: modern yet minimalist decor, choice of pillow firmness, thermostats in each large room, and familiar/trusted brands for toiletries.
