The location was par excellence. Highly walkable, with Market Square literally steps away. The unit was clean and well appointed. Very open and airy making it feel even more spacious than it was. Loved the rooftop patio. So many restaurants close by. Would love to stay here again! My only wish was that the upstairs bathroom had a small shelf or two by the sink to put some toiletries on. The upstairs sink is very small with no room for even a toothbrush. But all in all, I highly recommend staying here!!

This place checks all my important things in a Airbnb: -secure parking -very clean -all utensils you need for cooking (bring your spices) -king bed -second bedroom with no extra cost for visiting guest -central location for walking anywhere down town, and to bike trails -bathroom with a tub -barb b que -good value -friendly and responsive hosts -Plus there is good vibe with high ceilings, loft master bedroom and a patio with nice evening city lights view. There are no late check ins but our host made allowance due to three ferry sailing cancellations. There is daily morning noise of garbage and recycle trucks and next door wholesale trucks unloading, but this minor for all the great things this place has to offer. We would definitely come again

Great location! Shopping and dining within minutes. All of downtown within easy walking distance.
Kitchen had everything needed to cook. Fireplace was a plus as it was rather cold out with rain/snow.
Comfortable beds.

Wonderful condo with everything you need. The loft bedroom and rooftop balcony are absolutely stunning. The location is perfect, right in the core of everything. Easy to get to, parking, secure building. You will not be disappointed, my mom, aunt and myself stayed for 5 nights and it felt like home, we didn’t want to leave!!

Awesome apartment! The pictures definitely don’t do it justice- the loft is very cool and so neat that there’s a private rooftop deck too. The place was clean, Heather was great to communicate with and super friendly when we met her to get the keys to the apartment. I wouldn’t call it a self check in though like the listing states, since we did have to meet in person to get the keys. Close to the ferry, shopping and food! We loved the Indian restaurant across the street. Cute neighborhood and nice building. Would definitely stay again!

Very nice loft apartment in Victoria, BC. Close to Government St., which is lively and fun especially towards its more southern end. Chinatown just north of the condo. The condo had lots of amenities, including washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, etc. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Very secure, with both an outer gate and locked lobby door, each requiring key fob entry.

No A/C, which is usually not an issue in Victoria, though we were there during a July heat wave.

from $130 / night
