What a stunning view or thw Harbour. Walkable and so many dining options. We hosted four of our kids with thier significant others easily on the provided bbq area. ##### Allen Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn I. 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Island Getaway Perfect location to get everwhere on foot. We weren't in the condo much as Victoria has so many sights to see and things todo. Hosts were super responsive! ##### Lyn I. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Colin D. 11 Jul 2023 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Nice spot and convenient location. Hosts were supportive. The place was nice but oven/microwave not cleaned. Also, building was under renovation due to flood that was not communicated making getting up and down the elevator a hassle. ##### Colin D. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin 29 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication Misleading information - advertising shows up to 4 persons but in reality it is a 2 person only. Others are put up on an air mattress which takes the remaining space in a tiny studio. No room to squeeze past at any time and playing Tetris with the chairs and any luggage you may have whilst the beds are down. Other than that it was clean and can understand why others have liked it but just not for us and strongly advise anyone more than 2 look somewhere else. Good location for the harbour but a warning for those who walk down pandora to get shopping from save on foods - you will come across a camp - our son was a bit traumatized by what he saw there. Site next door is under construction so lots of dust and noise from that plus a crane swinging things overhead. No real view from this studio vs the other side. ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian B. 23 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not your deck Knew the unit would be small but rented it because of all the photos of the deck. Well those photos are not the deck for the unit. The actual unit “deck” is a triangle measuring about 9 sq feet! The photos are of common area deck down a long hall and a staircase. Inconvenient to haul luggage in as No parking or drop off area. Have to carry at least 100 yards if you get street parking nearby. Unit is tiny but comfortable bed. No space at all when bed is open and your suitcases are open. Towels are microfibre and very thin. Elevator worked sporadically so got our exercise walking up 5 stories a few times. Building apparently has sustained big water damage from a leak which seems to be the reason for elevator issues. No water damage though in this unit. ##### Ian B.
