Of all the short term rentals we have stayed in, this was by far the best appointed; we needed nothing to add for our 4 night stay. Excellent location and lovely property. Host Cathie was warm and helpful, easy to contact. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Victoria.

The property is centrally located and close to everything. It was very clean and is well equipped with all that you need. It even has a washer and dryer if you need to do some laundry. It has a very nice garden/patio sitting area where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The host provided us with some lovely breakfast items which included eggs, bread, yogurt and juice. I would recommend this suite to anyone visiting the Victoria area.
