Agata and Ira were extremely accommodating regarding our need for early check in. The unit was lovely and the location was great for touring Victoria. Suggestions from our hosts regarding eateries were well received. Yes the garbage trucks were noisy Monday morning, but we expected it and it didn't concern us. We found parking at the City lot just past Chinatown was the least expensive ($13.50 for 24 hours) and with a security guard on site. Something to note... If parking in the lot next to the building you pay for 8 hours during the day and another fee from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. which meant several trips back to the parking lot. There is no way to pay for 24 hour parking in these private lots. Definitely a great location and good security!
