We loved the suite, nice and private, our pet was welcomed warmly. We had what ever we needed, very handy location as we could walk to get groceries, restaurants, pharmacy, etc. Seemed to be a safe neighbourhood, had no issues. We are hoping to return for a repeat visit. Colleen was very nice as host, if we wanted anything she looked after us. We stayed 4 weeks. Would highly recommend.

We just left this lovely cottage this morning after a lovely 3-night stay. The property is cozy, comfortable, welcoming and absolutely immaculate. Additionally, Colleen, the property owner, went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable and even dropped a lovely little surprise on our step during our stay. This home away from home is a gem, and so is Colleen!

Just like the pictures; well-appointed and very comfortable and clean. Was able to work there in the mornings and slept very well each night. Lots of natural light but also shaded by trees so it was comfortable temperature wise even though it was hot in Victoria while there. Host was easily reachable when needed. All-round a wonderful stay.

We had a great stay at this property. Very clean and modern, also a great location in a quiet neighborhood very close to downtown Victoria. Easy access to all the sights. Host was great, provided welcome snacks and had great communication. Photos of the property are exactly what saw upon arrival, and the unit had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Victoria BC.

Ideal suite in the heart of Victoria. Very clean and well stocked. Only one dishwasher pod for a 2 week stay but we stocked our own. The unit has everything you need including a great laundry team. The king bed and linens are very comfortable. Colleen is very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this modern comfortable suite. Thank you Colleen - we look forward to staying again.

Ouch! The dishwashing Pods - I wish you would have advised me … I never got to do a final check in on the suite after the cleaners were done this time as I was out of town. I’ve forwarded this message to the cleaners, whom will no longer be hired for turn over the suite… so thank you for the constructive feedback - this helps us to be more mindful to triple check the re-stock list.
