We had a lovely time in Victoria and appreciated our stay on Yates. The studio was well appointed and in a perfect location for walking to all of downtown’s offerings. Our only bump in the road was all the early morning street noise. There are several bars in the neighborhood and the people noise started ramping up at about 1am and lasted until sometime after 230. Shortly after, the street sweepers went into action. They must have cleaned every square inch of Yates street and the accompanying sidewalks! Things quieted down by 6am. Interestingly, this occurred on Friday night and was less noticeable on Saturday. Maybe because we were so tired, or perhaps our experience was just a snapshot in time. We noticed the studio came with ear plugs, but that wasn’t until after our sleepless night. Regardless, high marks for everything else!
