Absolutely incredible condo in the ideal location in Victoria. Elle and Wilhelm were immediately responsive for every question and so helpful and kind, even reaching out just to check on us, providing recommendations for dog-sitters, and all kinds of other help.
We stayed for 6 weeks with our dog Penny, and I told my husband he was going to have to pry me out of this flat. The unit is extremely well equipped for long-term stays with a fully stocked kitchen and cleaning supplies, even a vacuum. The hosts provide a lot of amenities and will replace them if you run out, which is very rare. The bed is so comfortable and there is a foam mattress pad for the pull-out sofa that makes it very comfortable as well. The enormous balcony with a BBQ makes the place feel even bigger.
The building is very secure, clean, and everyone is so friendly, with a lovely mix of short-term guests and full-time residents that all seem to get along. The location is absolutely ideal, and my dog and I took daily walks across the bridge to visit the sea otters in Vic West, a 5 minute walk away. We've stayed in three (still very nice) other units in this building that cost the same or even more, but were darker and smaller with tiny or no balconies. Even though it's in the absolute heart of Victoria, this unit faces an interior courtyard so it very quiet and peaceful, including on the balcony. We just can't wait to be back!
