Disclaimer: This review is meant to be a considerate critique of this property and is in no way meant to be a ‘complaint’. It is from our perspective alone and may not mesh with your concerns and requirements at all. Overview: We had the opportunity to stay at The Haida Way in the month of April 2018. Reservations and Communications were easy and excellent. Shannon was quick to reply to any texts sent (which were few). We chose The Haida Way because of being pet-friendly and proximity to family (five blocks away). If you are visiting in the Colwood/Langford area of Victoria this place is easy to find and very central. Pros: Very Reasonably priced per night as well as a reasonable cleaning fee. Very spacious one-bedroom unit. Quiet. View overlooking some residential, ocean and mountains (on a clear day). Well stocked kitchen utensils for cooking. Full sized refrigerator. Outdoor patio furniture and table. Laundry room with full sized washer and dryer. Plenty of closets. Large bathroom with great shower head and water pressure. Bedding is good quality. Electric baseboard heat (no forced air furnace noise) Recycling container. Fully fenced yard for your dog to explore. Digital lock set for entry door (very easy to use and no key required). Cons: (from the perspective of young at heart seniors with slight mobility issues) A full flight of outdoor stairs (a little wobbly) to navigate luggage down. Minimal furnishings indoors – small loveseat (for a petite person to curl up in, maybe), two club chairs. No lamps, just ceiling lights. (so sitting in living room area to converse or watch television is sterile feeling) The Queen size bed is VERY FIRM. For side sleepers - VERY Uncomfortable. Too firm even laying on back. No recycling ‘instructions’. (different communities have diverse recycling programs so knowing what is what would help) House rules requested you to pick up after your dog (naturally) yet there were ‘land mines’ everywhere from the two resident dogs. So watch your step. No dishwasher. - hand washing is not a big deal it is more the sanitizing of dishes that was a concern for me. I bring this up because we were both sick while visiting and I was concerned that I cleaned the dishes thoroughly enough. As well the thought that the previous guests not being as conscientious about proper cleaning ran through my mind. Conclusion: Again this review is from the perspective of two young-at-heart seniors with slight mobility issues. (one with a fairly recent hip replacement and one with heart and lung issues) The full flight of stairs is one of those things that flies under the radar of most healthy people but can be a large barrier for not so healthy people. So if you have more than a suitcase they can be a bit of a challenge. We would consider staying here again if the bed was more comfortable. That was the real deal breaker for us. We could deal with the stairs,...
