We stayed at Art’s place for about a week and it was perfect for us. It was very clean and well laid out for the space. The location was absolutely wonderful, with everything you need, or want, right outside the door. It’s right on the edge of Chinatown so there are a ton of great takeout places. It was noisy on the street at night so it was a little tough to watch tv with the door open for air, but we didn’t really care. The weekend really picked up as far as street noise as well. But to be perfectly honest, we slept so well there every night. The bedroom is in the middle of the condo and there was a fan provided for white noise, so we barely noticed the noise. And my husband always brings earplugs, so it was totally a non-issue, thank goodness. The bed was extremely comfortable, too! We used the washer and dryer, with soap provided, which was really nice since I spilled on myself during the long trip to get there so I could throw everything in right away and prevent bad stains. We didn’t do too much cooking, just some eggs in the morning and re-heating leftovers. The kitchen accessories do need a bit of sprucing up. There was only one wine glass, and a weird assortment of drinking glasses, most of which were tiny. A new set of glasses in two sizes, and a few wine glasses would fix that. Also, this didn’t matter to us, but the coffee maker isn’t a drip coffee maker. There is a French press and a pod type that actually had reusable pods. We used both. There was no grinder, but that’s not uncommon in rentals. Art also provided some nice shampoo and conditioner and nice towels. We loved every second of our trip and really felt like we got a nice experience for a good price in Art’s little place in Victoria. We would definitely stay there again.
