We arrived off the Seattle to Victoria Clipper on a Friday and they were kind enough to accommodate us by letting us drop off luggage early while the place was being cleaned.
All of the places we ate at were good with most having kind and helpful staff.
Food recommendations:
- Shanzee’s Biscuit Café
-Habit Coffee
-Varsha Indian Kitchen
- Tug Eatery
-Swan’s Pub
-Pendray Inn for winter afternoon tea
-Discovery Coffee
Everything we did was within walking distance or bus ride ($5 for day pass- you can get cash at the ATM in Swan’s).
An entrance to Fan Tan Alley is on this street (barely noticed it the first day) and a great way to learn about the history of China Town.
As for the apartment- as has been mentioned, the couch is not comfortable. It’s slippery and stiff but we managed. The bed feels a bit like a futon mattress.
Cleanliness was good, but some dusty areas.
If use a wheel chair, the bathroom would be problematic- small, and a shower bench might not work as the shower spout is on the wall opposite the toilet.
We didn’t cook as expected but did buy loose leaf tea from Habit to have while there; and there’s loose leaf tea pot so plus for that. The kitchen looks like it is stocked with anything you might need.
