Very close to the bus stop- Bus 22 takes you downtown in about 10 minutes
Great little pub - Fernwood Inn- and coffee shop about a 5 minute walk from the house
House was really clean and inviting, beds were quite comfortable and owners very friendly, responsive to text and email and helpful with information
Came in on the Clipper with no car- taxis from downtown were quite affordable, NO Uber in Victoria- city is exceedingly walkable with all sorts of unusual places to discover-
We enjoyed a water taxi to Fisherman's Wharf, Miniature World, lots of local beers to sample, and walking through the Parliament Building.
Rented a car one day and drove to Nanaimo one afternoon- about 1 1/2 hour drive, car rental was reasonable.
