The place is small but cute, well equipped and nicely decorated.
There is no where to eat except on the couch or computer desk.
As for the noise: It's on a main road so depending on the time of day, there can be a lot of traffic, including buses, large trucks from the Navy and from near by construction, and the fire hall is just 2 blocks away. The parking lot where the Navy employees park (right across the street) on weekends turns into a haven for (I'll assume kids) doing burn outs and drifting, so the screeching of tires becomes annoying very quickly.
Downtown Victoria, where the restaurants, parliament buildings and the tourist areas are located is a 15-20 drive away, depending on traffic. So the location, while being in the Greater Victoria area, is not in the City of Victoria.
Communication prior to me booking was excellent. Wendy was out of town and has a "property manager" working for her, but I don't believe this person has any experience as a property manager or with assisting a host. Check in included nothing more than handing me the keys outside of the apartment and wishing me good luck. No instructions were provided either verbally or written. Fortunately the neighbours are very nice people and very helpful.
I hate writing a bad review, but I use AirBnB a lot, so I know what to expect and this fell far below expectations.
