I had the pleasure of staying at Willow’s place for an extended period in spring 2019.
The location is perfect: right in the heart of everything – Chinatown just a few steps away, lots of nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby and various bus connections and bicycle trails just around the corner. Yet, I have not experienced any noise disturbance from the urban environment at nighttime.
For North-American standards, the apartment is indeed rather small, but thanks to the smart interior design and tall ceilings, it never felt cramped. The huge windows bring in a lot of daylight and provide nice views to the water. There is also a small balcony with doors that can be fully opened.
Both bathroom and kitchen are fully equipped and have a modern look-and-feel. The bed and sofa were as comfortable as at home.
Communication with Willow went smooth and her curated list of places to visit in Victoria is truly awesome! I will certainly come back on my next trip to Victoria.
