This was my first Air BnB and WOW! Location was great - downtown Victoria next to Chinatown and a 10 minute walk to The Empress. The accommodations were amazing - modern, clean, large, comfortable. A Starbucks just across the street made for easy early morning coffee runs. A well equipped kitchen made eating in easy. We took our two chihuahuas with us and they settled in well; there was no ambient noise to trigger barking as can happen in hotels. Perhaps my favorite afternoon was hanging out on the upper deck patio in the sunshine with a glass of wine. This was a great way to be introduced to Air BnB!
