This suite was perfect for our trip to Victoria. Lots of room, comfy beds, beautiful setting & very accommodating host. It's a 5 minute walk to the ocean with lots of walking trails nearby. We were close to our daughter which is why we chose this neighborhood but still only a 20 minute drive to downtown.

We enjoyed our stay. Wish it could have been longer. The listing could have said more about the really nice beach/waterfront walk about 1 block away. That made our evening.

Overall nice place and beautiful ocean view a minute walk away! Harjas did us a huge favour and let us check out later which was very much appreciated. I would only say that the place could have been a little cleaner (some stains and spills in the fridge) and that it’s not explicitly stated that this is a basement suite. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!
