This is the perfect location for anyone visiting Victoria. It's just on the outside of downtown so you do not have to deal with the noise from the nightlife. however it is close enough that you can walk to everything. You would not need your vehicle unless you plan on driving outside the downtown core. The unit has everything that you need in term of amenities. There's even access to kayak that you can rent. Didn't get a chance to use that now but hopefully if we are there again when it is warmer.
