This is a very nice and comfortable one-bedroom suite with all the necessary amenities. Neil and his family are wonderful hosts. Extremely welcoming, readily available through text or phone to answer any questions, and promptly addressing any concerns. The apartment was set up very well with all the amenities provided in the listing, and even some extras. To get me started, there were eggs, bread, butter, and milk in the fridge, and coffee; all a very nice touch and much appreciated. The suite has a private walkway and entrance on the left side of the house, and even though the house that it is in is located at the corner of a main street, one does not hear any of the traffic noise inside the suite.
The location was absolutely perfect for me. It was quick and easy to find, with bus stops less than a five minute walk away. The various buses that serve these stops directly connect you to UVIC, downtown, as well as other parts of the city. There are restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, coffee shops, bank and even a mall, all within a five to ten minute walk. Inside the suite, the kitchen is a decent size and has a microwave, a full stove top with oven, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cooking utensils, dishware, silverware, cabinet space etc. There is also salt and pepper, some spices and seasonings, a few sauces/dressings in the fridge, all nice touches too. The living room area is very spacious. It has a nice, big TV, a sofa-bed, a couple of lounge chairs, and a dining table for four. The washer was different; one of those portable/movable ones, but it worked perfectly fine along with the dryer. Laundry detergent pods were also already provided. The bedroom had all the necessary bed-linen, and the bathroom had toiletries.
All in all, Neil has this place set up extremely well and has thought through everything that one would need for a short or a long stay. I would love to stay here again whenever I visit Victoria. I recommend this place for sure.
Thank you Neil, for such a pleasant stay. The title of the listing is perfect; Comfy Cabana Suite!
