Ricks place is amazing place to stay, my boyfriend and i made last minute plans to Victoria and couldn't find a hotel. We were so lucky Rick place popped up, his place is better than a hotel room. You have your own privacy and Rick himself is very accommodating and great communication before, during and after our stay. Victoria is not that big, everything is walk-able, the place is nicely located in the city (about a 20 minute walk from where the Victoria Clipper drops off or 5 minute cab ride). Would stay here again if I visit Victoria again.
