Having to pick a "favorite" thing about Kathryn and Stephen's apartment seems quite unfair, as there are so many things to recommend it.
Kathryn herself is the first of those things. She is quite personable and was quite helpful with tips about on places to eat and shop in the immediate vicinity when we first checked in. She also responds to messages promptly and was quick to address any questions or requests we had.
The building, and the apartment itself were impeccably well-maintained. Not that one feels the need to worry much about safety in Victoria, but the FOB entry system for the front door, the elevator, and the key pad entry system on the door of the apartment provide an added sense of security. For those of us who also obsessively check to make sure we've locked everything, and then later question whether or not we did anyway, the key pad entry and touch button lock alleviated that paranoia by virtue of the routine.
The "Kral Space", as they call it, is also remarkably well appointed. The furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped with all the pans and dishes we needed throughout our week-long stay. As we prefer staying in and cooking to dining out, for both economy and comfort, this was a wonderful feature. Kathryn and Stephen also provided enough soap for a few loads of laundry whilst we stayed there, another helpful point for those who prefer to travel light. Also, the separate thermostats for the bedroom and living space made it easy maintain comfort during both waking and sleeping hours, a much needed feature for those of us who need a cool climate to sleep.
The location of the Apartment is wonderful. It is an easy walk to the harbor area, a well-stocked grocer store (Market on Yates), tourist attractions, shopping, and also some hotel pick-up points for those inclined to join a tour. It took us only a few minutes to walk to a nearby hotel, which served as a regular pick-up point for our wine tour. The ease of access to everything we needed meant we had no need of a car or taxi throughout our stay, which was wonderful in that it gave us one less thing to worry about.
This is a wonderful space for any couple or single traveling to Victoria.
