This was an excellent place to stay for our trip to Victoria, especially coming from Vancouver on the ferry without a car. Its only a 20 minute bus ride to downtown, and maybe a 50 minute walk with lots of interesting places to walk near by if you're into that. There's also a grocery store maybe 10 minutes walk away and the kitchen is small but very well thought out as far as what's in it so we cooked a lot. The deck is a great thing to have, and the neighbourhood is really charmingly Victoria. I hope we can go back again sometime!
