Ken’s place is in a great part of town! It is close to the harbor with lots of restaurants and shopping. The unit looks like the pictures and had everything we needed. The balcony and view are awesome! Ken was able to accommodate an early check in for us, which I greatly appreciated. Check in and check out are super easy.
As this was our first time in Victoria, we didn’t quite realize how loud this part of town is at night, though. Our fault ... but I wish I had realized that in order to be comfortable temperature-wise, we would need to have the windows wide open with all of the fans going. The cool night air would have made for a great night’s sleep except that the street noise and seagulls were so loud that no one could fall asleep. So then we had to shut the windows for the kids which kept it very warm. If you are used to a lot of street noise and birds, though, this will not be a problem for you (or if you are visiting during a cooler time of year!). When closed, though, the windows do a very nice job blocking out the noise!!Some full-coverage black out curtains would also be really nice in the smaller bedroom during the summer months :).
Other than those minor issues, though, Ken’s place is great. I would definitely stay there again if we return during a cooler month.
Also, the little French cafe next door was delicious for breakfast and open long before many other restaurants. Even my kids found several breakfast items they enjoyed.
Thanks for a safe, clean spot in Victoria, Ken! Hopefully we will be back one day!
