Terrific neighborhood close t restaurants, etc but far enough from cruise ship crowds on Wharf St. Stop by tourist office for info about city bus to Butchart Gardens- half the price of tour bus- ride about an hour each way. Fave happy hour- down Trounce Alley, stop at Tapa Bar (next door t Bodega)- sit on the patio, share a pitcher of Sangria and garlic shrimp and olives w bread for dipping, from Happy Hr menu. Fave fancy dinner: Nautical Nellies - busy because of cruise ships but we skipped the 40” wait by asking for seats at the bar where full menu was available. High marks for Paella, seafood linguine, steak w side of shrimp. (Crab cakes - just average.) Space has lovely views, city noise bothered the couple we traveled with, but not an issue if you live in a city and regularly hear sirens. We hav stayed in many private Airbnb’s- this was first corporate experience; we had some communication glitches, there were none of the usual B&B amenities such as shampoo or coffee. However- space was quite clean, beds comfy, location great- the lack of coffee is great excuse t walk out front door, walk a few paces to the left and pop into Macchiato Cafe for fabulous coffee, tea, sandwiches and pastries. Worth a return visit now that we know what to pack. Perfect for two couples.
