I stayed one week at Elaine and Farsheed's place during the summer. They were the BEST hosts! Super quick to respond to all of my inquiries and were helpful in many ways! They went above and beyond to welcome me to Victoria.
This place is awesome if you want to be close to downtown but in a bit of a quieter area. I felt super safe at all times. I enjoyed being able to hop onto the Galloping Goose Trail on my bike or walk downtown taking in the view of the Leg from the Johnson bridge. The space is perfect for one or two people, fully equipped. Cute little balcony (even a small water view) with your own strawberry plants!! Still very modern (2009 I believe) with all of the 'toys' you should need.
There's a coffee shop and bakery/deli just a minute's walk away. Bike rack outside if you need. There's also a Save On Foods and Starbucks just around the bend, as well as a gas station.
I highly recommend this suite to anyone traveling to Victoria. You won't be disappointed!
