Our stay was great! We had our two dogs with us and they really enjoyed the park right outside the front door. We also enjoyed the views from the apartment (there were some binoculars available too!). We picked a really hot weekend to visit Victoria but there was a good breeze at the Airbnb so the place stayed fairly cool (it did get a little warm at night when the breeze died down).
Downtown was a 10-15 minute drive away. If you have your dog with you, we recommend eating at Spinnaker’s, Sunnyside Cafe, or Frankie’s Modern Diner. Each place was very dog friendly.
