Location was fantastic: in a prime downtown area near restaurants and shops that are literally just steps away from your front door, a few minutes' walk to many major sights, and an easy bus ride to the rest. While it is in a very "happening" neighborhood, the apartment is away from the street and is quiet at night. The apartment has a southern exposure, which means it can warm up during the day, but opening the doors to the small balcony and turning in the very powerful ceiling fan takes care of that in minutes. This attractively decorated, well-equipped apartment has everything you need, and is well-maintained with everything in good working order. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer in the apartment. Our 4 nights in the place passed quickly and comfortably. The host has left the BEST house manual with great information, as well as notes around the apartment instructing you how to use different appliances. It's very helpful and thoughtful. It was a great place for us -- two older adults sightseeing in Victoria.
