This flat was really wonderful. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. It's tastefully decorated in a cute, hip way. It has everything you need if you want to cook (which we didn't because there are so many great restaurants in walking distance!). The bed was comfortable. It was sparkly clean. And we loved the interior brick walls! It's perfectly located if you want to walk around that super fun area in Victoria. There are cute shops on all the nearby streets. Great restaurants (as mentioned) all over the place. The water is *right there* and there are plenty of sites to see in walking distance. In fact, we parked our car and didn't use it at all while we were there.
There were just a couple of challenges: if you're sensitive to smells, this might not be the place for you. It's above a (delicious) biscuit shop and the apartment smelled like biscuits and bacon most of the time. Also, if you're sensitive to noises, this might not be the place for you. It's on a fairly busy street but what we noticed the most were the early morning garbage, recycling and street cleaning trucks. It was pretty loud but we also don't live in a busy town, so may just be considered normal town life sounds : )
Gratefully, there is parking that comes with the space but it's about a block away. On accident (she felt really bad about it!), Stef didn't send me the parking instructions and when we arrived (late and in the dark) it was a bit of a pain to figure out where to go. But Stef responded right away with instructions to park and she even reimbursed me for the street parking that I paid for while figuring it out.
All said and done, we would definitely stay here again.
