We chose Feng's place because it was comparable in price to the hotels we'd considered, but offered two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with free parking, the ability to cook our own food, and a convenient location for exploring shops and restaurants by foot. We weren't sure when we'd be done at Butchart Garden, but Feng was flexible with our arrival time and willing to meet us at our convenience with 20 minutes notice to hand off the key.
Our first impression upon entering the Airbnb was "Wow!" The views of Victoria from the full windows in every room were amazing! The place was immaculate, the decor and atmosphere were restful, and the kitchen was well-stocked with small appliances, cookware, seasonings, and condiments. The Keurig with coffee, tea, and cappuccino mixes was appreciated!
When we wanted dessert after 9 p.m., we searched "ice cream" on Google Maps, and realized there were a dozen places we could get late-night snacks on a weeknight, all within a few blocks of our Airbnb. We're from a small town, so this was impressive! We went out to explore at night on foot and found many ice cream and tourist shops, convenience stores, fast food, fine dining, and pubs with live music still open, all just blocks away. There were some homeless people here and there, but also lots of tourists and locals walking around at night. The sidewalks were well-lit, and we felt perfectly safe.
We really enjoyed our stay at Feng's lovely place, and we'd love to stay there again the next time we're in Victoria.
