Over the years we have rented several places in and around Victoria. This one is as good as it can get. The place has a view of the inner harbor as well as the strait. And it is at the heart of everything. It is as good a walk to Beacon Hill park and further as around the inner harbor. We actually hiked to Clover Point; the dog park is a two mile path way along the beach, the most impressive of its kind. We enjoyed a tiny fraction of the many good restaurants, a night club, Munro's books and a bug zoo, all within 500 yards from the place. Before we went, I secretly worried about noise during the night because of the central location. But it turned out not to be an issue, though you can hear people in the weekend, if they get really loud. Jake is very (timely) responsive and friendly.
