First off it’s a beautiful home as advertised. Modern decor and ac worked perfectly in the summer. Great view from the balcony.
From the photos in the listing, I didn’t expect the owners to be living there. This was not that big of a problem, except when my family checked in, there was a bowl of food in the microwave, laundry in the washer, clothes left hanging to dry. The sheets, towels and house were clean though. No concerns about that. A lot of smart devices around the house with cameras, hopefully those were off.
That being said it’s a nice house if you want to get away from the crowds. Downtown Victoria is a 20-30 minute drive depending on traffic.
