The above ground basement suite is in a very cute neighbourhood close to many bike trails. I wish I had brought my bike! It is however quite far from everything if you don't have a car (restaurants, shopping, Victoria). It's about a $25 cab ride to downtown, and very difficult to transit to/from (we needed to take a bus and a cab to get from the Ferry). The suite has its own temperature control, which is fantastic, and the bed is very comfortable! The suite doesn't have a couch you can relax on, so the seating isn't ideal for hanging out and watching a movie (there's a bench, and some solo chairs), but there is a cute little table and chairs outside that you can enjoy the highly highly appreciated breakfast items that Amy leaves for you. The suite has a full kitchenette, with a Krueger coffee machine. The check-in and check-out is so easy, the best I've had! Completely independent, but Amy was readily available if needed. A small heads up, the suite has another Airbnb directly above it which can sometimes be noisy as the entrance hallway is directly above this suite's bedroom.
