We lived in Victoria for many years and were in town for a short stay. As a previous local I can confirm this location is great ... downtown but with less street noise due to being on a quieter street. We never heard a single noise from any of the neighbors, either from their apartments or in the hallways. Our compliments to whoever constructed the building.
If you have read the other reviews of this property then you know what I'm going to say ... great apartment, great location, great host. Instead of repeating what others have said I'll try to add something new to this review.
We have stayed in over 30 AirBnBs around North America, Europe and the Middle East and can say that Pedro's hospitality is as good as it gets. We often say that AirBnB hosts should stay in their own rentals for a week to test their livability. Pedro must have done this because it has absolutely everything you need. Bought some carrots? There's a potato peeler. Bought ice cream? There's an ice cream scoop. Wine? ... there are different glasses for red and white.
Most impressive is the amount of consumables Pedro provides with the apartment. Usually AirBnBs will give you a couple dishwasher pods, a couple Keurig/Nespresso coffee pods, and a couple rolls of TP (if you're lucky) just to get you started and then you're on your own. Pedro provides more of these (plus towels, Q-tips, and welcome chocolates) than you could go through in 2 weeks ... and he says if you run out of anything to let him know and he'll restock. His thoughtfulness and trustfulness in this regard is rare.
As others have mentioned, on arrival there is already a nice selection of fresh fruit, plus eggs, milk, oil, spices, bread and even his wife's homemade jam. Wow.
Too many AirBnB hosts rely on a good location and do the bare minimum because they know people will rent anyway. Pedro clearly takes pride in providing guests with a great place to live.
Very impressive.
Thanks Pedro.
