We had such an amazing stay at Desmond's suite!! The suite itself is bright and clean (everything is freshly renovated), the bed is super comfy and there's tons of extra storage space. We found the layout to be excellent for two people, with lots of privacy for the bathroom and bedroom, plus the convenient fully stocked kitchen for making a full meal.
Desmond was quick to respond to messages and eager to make our stay comfortable. We especially appreciated the privacy and quietness during our stay (we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves!) but with the knowledge that Desmond was available by message if we needed anything!
Our favorite part of the suite was the private closed-in patio; an awesome safe space for our dog to be outside and a lovely quiet spot for us to lounge on nice days.
The location of the suite is very convenient for both and bus (45 mins, direct) and drive (20 mins) to downtown Victoria- we did both during our stay! We also appreciated all the shopping options in the area (great thrift stores, tons of stores and restaurants, a mall, and easy access to the big box stores like Walmart and Superstore). There's even a small off-leash dog park walking distance away! The suite is on a quiet residential street but with super quick access to the TransCanada highway, which was great for getting back to the ferry.
We highly recommend Desmond's place and we look forward to staying again next time we visit Victoria!
