I was looking for a quiet place to stay for a week and this was perfect. Everything was in good condition and there were no problems at all. This a great place for one or two people. Low key, you can cook or go to the nearby restaurants. I will stay here next time I am in Victoria.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Pretty spot, but not clean.

Pros: Pretty view, safe location, fast WiFi, good use of space, easy parking. Cons: cleanliness. Couch had food crumbs. Floor, drapes, and bedding all had hair. The mattress and pillows are comfy but stained yellow. And the couch in the back yard was too dirty to use.

Worthwhile

We found the property clean, and adequate for our needs, and in our opinion a good value. We did not use the upper deck or bbq, this required some arrangements and our schedule didn’t work with this approach - but the option was there. The coffee maker didn’t work and our stay was only for 4 days and this was not resolved. Cooking utensils and spices need to be addressed. Finally the stairs were not an issue to us (quite steep) but might be for someone with mobility issues. All in all we’d rent here again.

Work/Sport Camp-away

Wonderful, clean, private property. Great parking, peaceful neighbourhood. Beautiful. You can hear people walking upstairs during day-hours, (no big deal for us), very respectful, quiet during quiet hours. Would definitely stay again.

Quite get away

Major road construction hampered entry and exit. No bbq as described. Coffee maker nonfunctional. No dish cloths to clean dishes. Its time to replace the shower curtain liner.
