We spent a month at Carmen's and absolutely loved it--the apartment was an excellent home away from home. It had everything one could possibly need: washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, lots of natural light. The area is really great as well: a few streets over from the main tourist area, but with easy access to restaurants/cafes (Habit Coffee across the street is our favorite). Carmen was reliable and helpful all throughout. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend some time in Victoria!
