Instructions were straight forward. Exterior was a bit run down, but inside was renovated and well decorated. The bed was really comfortable, everything was very clean. They could use a fresh coat of paint as there were scuff marks all over the place on the lower walls. The pictures make it seem a bit bigger then it actually is but it was more then sufficient to suit or needs. The only negative was the neighbors in the building next door, one was shouting all morning and another was playing really loud death metal late at night. All and all a great jump off point to do things in Victoria, you can walk to down town in about 10 minutes.
