We stayed in 4 Airbnb places during our 1.5 months stay in Vancouver and Victoria. Gary’s is the first one and is the longest one we have stayed in.
For the condo, it is exactly what I saw from the photos on his listing page. Everything is new and clean. You can find all the towels, beddings, cooking things, laundry, etc abundantly available for your use. There is also a nice patio with your own grill, but we were just too lazy to use. Free parking spot right in the basement which is super convenient as well.
As for the location, it is not downtown which I knew before I made the booking. However, Victoria is a small town after all. You can find restaurants within walking distance from the condo, and even if u want to drive to downtown, it’s just 10 mins away. But to me, the best part about the location is it’s super quiet and private. We have stayed in another Airbnb in downtown and found out is was quite noisy at night especially during weekends.
About Gary, he is extremely responsive and helpful, before we made the booking as well as during our entire stay. This is very important for me I must say. Whether I have questions about the condo or even sudden change on my schedule, Gary always sincerely replied and accommodated as much as he could. We would definitely stay in his place again next time without a doubt!
