We have just spent two months in the two-story-apartment (entry level and upper floor - the basement is rented separately). INSIDE: The apartment is spacious enough to accommodate a family of four. There are two bedrooms with large cupboards, the bed in the master bedroom is comfortable, there are enough towels, bed linens, etc. There are also two desks, several lamps. More generally, all the basics are there: enough hot water in the shower, appliances including large TV screen, internet, big fridge, etc. We had recurring problems with electricity in the kitchen (the fuses were off as soon as we used two electrical devices such as a coffee machine and the toaster or microwave). We note that the person we contacted to fix problems was always available, but we felt bad calling often since the electric panel is in the other apartment, downstairs. Re: LOCATION: It was a 17 min. walk to downtown, so very convenient. The neighborhood of Fernwood is quite nice with plenty of houses with character and a small center with restaurants at 5 min walk. However, the flat is located on a busy crossing and I must say that it is really noisy. Big trucks or cars with loud music woke us up many times at 1 or 2 am. Noise-proof windows would be a nice upgrade. Also, there are a lot of tramps walking up from downtown at night whom are often drunk and shouting at each other. We never felt unsafe, but it was not pleasant to be woken up either... Anyways, there is nothing the landlord could do about it, many people told me that this is how Victoria downtown has become at night... Overall, our family had a pleasant stay in this pet-friendly / family-friendly flat, and it was probably the best we could find not far from downtown in this price range.
