VRBO Review – Fantastic Stay

by Amy W

5 out of 5 stars

We loved the condo and its location to everything. A nice break in the city before we headed out on our next adventure. I would highly recommend this property. The roof top patio was a bonus and the view was spectacular.

Everything was excellent. The site matched or exceeded expectations. Pictures were accurate depiction of the condo. Our stay was effortless, enjoyable, and relaxing. Sure wish we were able to return for future visits. We loved watching all the activities in the harbor, walking the neighborhood and the rooftop patio.

Great location! We loved our stay in this airy and bright condo with gorgeous water views. The host was super helpful and responsive, the place was really organized, clean, and had the basics plus many extras. Very comfortable bed - great coffee options- and very flexible hosts. We’d happily stay again. Lots of great restaurants nearby and parking on site was super convenient.

This is a great property in a centralized location that provides amazing views and upscale comforts. Parking is provided in a secured garage with remote control access. We were able to easily walk in downtown with major attractions just minutes away. The penthouse itself was quiet and comfortable. Coffee machine options were very welcome along with the well stocked basic supplies in the kitchen. The private roof top patio was spacious although we didn't use it much due to it being colder. The staircase leading to the roof hatch was precarious but there is an elevator. Bed was very comfortable as was the modern furniture. Thanks for a great stay!

This place was very nice, and so was our host. Her personal touch in meeting us there upon our arrival, was very much appreciated, and the communication was clear and detailed. We really enjoyed our time in her home, and the location was perfect! Unit was clean and looked exactly like the pictures that were posted, along with the description. Location is so close to a French bakery, numerous restaurants, retail stores, a large shopping mall, and so many other wonderful attractions and places that you will want to visit. The only downside during our stay was the gas fire place that went out two days before our departure, and it was right during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and we truly enjoyed staying here and seeing the city and the beauty of Victoria, BC.

Location is fantastic for walking all around Victoria, and if you need a car to explore further afield, easy parking in the building. Fun to just watch the comings and goings in the harbor!

What a great apartment! Fully equipped. Super clean. Location is phenomenal. View from the apartment is stunning. Centrally located. The host is very nice and gave clear instructions for check in and check out. Building is very secure. An assigned parking spot in a secure area gave us peace of mind that our car was safe from a break-in, a reality that has become all too common for travelers. Would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful little place to settle in and enjoy the view & all the life of Victoria: the Harbor, sailing vessels, water taxis, seaplanes, sea otters & multitudes of visitors to the waterfront restaurants below. So many excellent restaurants & shops well within walking distance. Or take a water taxi just outside the condo building to multiple locations around the Harbor. The host was the consummate host & made sure we had all that we needed. This was a 10 for us.

Our hosts made check-in for our stay seamless. The condo was super clean, the kitchen well-equipped, and the view of the bridge, water taxis, and rowing teams made being inside feel like we were outside too! The ease of getting in and out of the building made traveling by foot or by car easy. This location is perfect, a ten minute walk to the tour buses and the parliament buildings, two minutes from Chinatown. If you're traveling to Victoria to relax, this is the place to stay!

I really loved this stay! The host met me at check-in to go over everything. She’s as warm and hospitable as her place is. The views are wonderful, however my favorite was of the water taxi marina below. The sight of tiny, yellow boats each day was endearing.
Pied-à-terre had everything you could hope for… a super comfortable bed, hot shower and a perfect kitchen to cook and caffeinate in. The thing about Victoria is there are so many food options. Some of the best are a short stroll away. The location is great, because you’re adjacent to everything without the density of being in it. Coming home each day/night was relaxing and appreciated. There is a magnificent horn which sounds, when the bridge is raised for passing boats. It doesn’t happen often and only during the day.
Finally… the parking is terrific, the building is secure, the accommodation is clean and thoughtfully designed. The host is an exceptional host. I’d stay again in a heartbeat.

The place is a beautiful, cozy and relaxing rental. From start to finish, the host was great. She met us and checked us in herself and explained everything we needed to know. The parking garage was clean and bright. The view is mesmerizing, especially at night with all the lights in the harbour. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back someday!

We love the flat at the Mermaid, could not have asked for something so DELIGHTFUL. The check in was no issues, the host was wonderful and walked us thru the flat. The flat has everything we needed, and super close to very nice restaurants and cute little artsy shops. The flat is as described but better, the views are a killer, with the beautiful bridge and all the boats going by, and sunsets a must. Thank you for letting us and sharing with your flat. We had a great time!
