Just home from a month long stay here. I honestly believe we picked the best apartment in downtown Victoria. It is exactly how it appears in the pictures. So nice and bright, even on a gloomy day. Huge windows but you don't feel like people are looking in at you. There are no tall buildings facing it. Beautiful view of the harbor. Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked many meals there. Walking distance to everything. We were there in February so the windows were closed, but I could see some thinking it is a little noisy if windows were kept open. Lots of sirens! Depends what you are used to. The building is very secure and safe. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Victoria.
