My boyfriend and I came up here for a quiet weekend away and got exactly that.

We only interacted with Allison upon arriving to get the keys and have a quick run down on how to operate some of the amenities. The times we did text her she was prompt. Her suggestions for things to do in the area were available in the house which were incredibly helpful.

While we didn't use the bikes available, it was nice to know they were there, as Victoria is super easy to get around on bike.

The balcony was perfect for end of the day wind down, being able to enjoy the sunset from a comfortable, quiet space.

Downtown Victoria is a 10-15 minute walk from the house, which is nice, because you can get away from the "thick of it" and enjoy the neighborhood (which is great).

We spent a significant amount of time in Fernwood, the great, funky little neighborhood the apartment is closest to. It has some great restaurants and businesses to explore.

Overall, incredibly happy we decided to stay here and I would definitely stay here again.
