Dave and Mae's carriage house in Victoria is a wonderful gem for two able bodied people or even a small family of four. Two couples may find the arrangement a bit awkward because the single bathroom is upstairs, essentially off the main bedroom. This means that anybody sleeping on the sofa bed downstairs has to come up to the main bedroom during the night if they need to use a toilet. The quarter turn staircase up to the second level is steep but quite manageable and safe for any capable person. I think children over six would find it quite fun actually, just make sure they're supervised and instructed the first time. The location of this place is fantastic. Located just behind the Provincial Legislature building in downtown Victoria in the delightful heritage neighbourhood of James Bay, you honestly can't do better while staying in Victoria. Location-wise, it is like staying at the Empress. Walk to Thrifty's or fisherman's wharf to buy groceries for supper and cook your own delicious meal. This is an awesome place to stay if you like downtown Victoria and if the shared bathroom situation works for you.
