Yingsong was a very attentive, thoughtful, flexible and welcoming host. We really enjoyed staying in his apartment condo.
His apartment is tastefully furnished, with all the necessary modern appliances and conveniences and is sparkling clean. Unfortunately, the bedroom doesn't have a window for light or fresh air, if that's important to you. The apartment is a good size for two people, though there is a fold down couch that makes into a bed for an additional person. The kitchen was abundantly stocked with higher quality tea, coffee, water, cleaning supplies and paper products, but if you are planning to cook meals, it's sparse on cooking utensils, cutlery, and dishes. Selecting prepared foods, or enjoying Victoria's many nearby restaurants and cafes are good choices for this apartment. Yingsong had also supplied good quality and extra bedding, lots of towels, shampoo/body wash, laundry soap, etc, and even two blow dryers.
You can easily explore downtown Victoria, if you don't want to use a car or don't have one. It is difficult sometimes to find parking in the downtown, so there is a secure parking spot available, but it's a bit tight.
I would not hesitate to recommend Yingsong and this apartment for shorter term stays in fabulous Victoria.
