Rachel’s place was everything we could’ve asked for. First of all, it’s an adorable loft in a vintage/ industrial building right in the heart of Victoria. Second, we were welcomed with some delicious local macarons and sparkling water. We loved the macarons so much, we went to the their shop and bought some more! Rachel communicated very well which allowed for a smooth check in/ check out. The loft is walking distance from great restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and shops. You can basically get anywhere by foot! The only time we took public transit was going to the Butchart Gardens which was a half hour away. If you like simple, minimal vacationing, this is the place to stay. I will definitely be revisiting Victoria and would stay at Rachel’s place again.
