This single bedroom apt was perfectly appointed, the little kitchen, while compact, was perfect to cook up meals. Everything was clean, well organized -John had thought of every detail to make my stay comfortable. He most helpful with information about the local community and current events. 2708 Mt Stephen Ave. is a very sweet location, quiet, and yet close enough to walk to the downtown Victoria area and Cook Street village (about 30 mins). I enjoyed exploring walks through the surrounding neighbourhood areas - Fernwood was just 12 minutes walk away, has a great Yoga studio, General store, cafe, pizzeria and restaurants. The General Store and Koffi on Haultain St. are a little closer, great coffee at Koffi! Can't say enough - ohh, and the gardens on the property were stunning. I hope to return ...
