Chad's apartment was wonderful. He was very quick to communicate with me before and after we made the reservation. The actual apartment looks exactly as the pictures depict. The check-in directions were spot on and the building and apartment security are perfect. Again, the description of the location of the apartment is 100% accurate. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and literally did not move our rental car until we left on Weds morning. Virtually everything in downtown Victoria is within walking distance including the waterfront, Chinatown, and Fisherman's Wharf. There are 100 good pubs/restaurants and bars within an easy walk. Based on the price of the nicer hotels in Victoria while we were there if basically wound up being almost 3 nights for the price of one night in a hotel. I'm hoping we can make it back to Victoria again next year and if so, we're staying at Chad's place.
