Christine's place was a wonderful oasis in the heart of downtown Victoria next to Chinatown. There is a wealth of restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops all within easy walking distance. The condo was surprisingly quiet for being right downtown. I loved the aesthetic of the condo, high ceilings, exposed brick walls and a comfy bed and living room for chilling in. The kitchen is well stocked but we were too enamored by the resto choices and happily grazed our way through downtown Victoria. Christine was very responsive and accommodated our early check in. The free parking at a close by lot was a bonus. We parked our car on Friday upon arrival and didn't use it again til we left. Victoria is a great city to explore on foot (and bike). Highly recommend Christine's condo!
