We found our stay to be very enjoyable, the perfect home away from home. The unit is located in the perfect location being only 10 minutes walking distance away from the harbour, close to all shopping and restaurants and many attractions within the harbour area. The unit was very clean and tidy and it was great to have laundry onsite as well as secured parking within the building. Steve and Trish were wonderful! We would recommend this property to anyone that we know going to Victoria. As well, we would not hesitate to stay at this location again ourselves the next time we visit.

An excellent property! A very clean and well maintained 10th floor unit with exceptional views of downtown Victoria. Dealing with Steve and Trish was a delight. When we checked in, they had provided food supplies like coffee, cereal, milk, bread, etc so that we didn't have to rush out to the store - a nice touch! They are definitely focused on their customers' needs. We did a lot of walking while we were there (although the city bus system is excellent and easy to use) and the weather was great (low to mid 60s, mid-June with the only rain the day we left). Excellent pubs and restaurants (The Sticky Wicket & John's Place are two that we really liked). Bottom-line, excellent location in a gorgeous town. We'd recommend strongly.

Fabulous Victoria Condo Suite
Guest: Albertans

Date of Stay: 12/30/10
Review Submitted: 02/14/11
The suite definitely lived up to our expectations and the online descriptions and photos accurately reflected what we experienced. Indeed, the suite provides many extras that you appreciate when away from home. We enjoyed the advantages and convenience of the downtown location and felt safe and secure in the building. The views are fabulous for watching harbour activity, gorgeous sunsets, night lights and more. We would certainly recommend this immaculate accommodation to others and would love to stay there again ourselves. Thanks Trish and Steve for your kind hospitality, superior customer service, and all the best to you both.

Our stay in Victoria was absolutely wonderful thanks to our accommodating hosts(Steve/Trish). We had everything we needed in the apartment to cook and celebrate our Christmas dinner and holiday with our adult kids. The condo was immaculate and fully equipped with high end appliances. We were close to the market and downtown sites. We especially enjoyed the breathtaking view of the city lights and harbor from our tenth floor room. We felt safe and secure in the building and will return as soon as we are able. We originally chose this site because of the comments made about Steve and Trish and their attention to details as hosts. We would highly reccommend this unit to anyone who is venturing to Victoria.

Victoria's Best Condo
Guest: Aucklanders
(New Zealand)
Date of Stay: 08/07/10
Review Submitted: 08/20/10
This was our first visit to Victoria and we were so impressed by the accommodation, the photo's do not do it justice. It is even nicer when you actually see the condo for yourself. The building is very secure and within walking distance of the main shopping area of Victoria. There is everything you need in the condo, nothing has been left out. The views are fantastic especially at night. We enjoyed being able to eat in when we wanted to, the supermarket is only a couple of blocks away, or go to one of the many great restaurants that are in Victoria itself. We took a trip to the Butchart Gardens which we would highly recommend, also we took a trip around the harbour which was very interesting. Victoria is very beautiful and there are many places of interest to see, it is worth taking the time to have a look at them. Steve and Trish you have a very lovely home and thank you for allowing us to stay there. We would like to say a big thank you to Steve for meeting us when we arrived on the ferry and for dropping us when we left. Steve you were the perfect host you made us feel so welcome nothing was too much trouble for you and you made sure that we knew where everything was, also thank you to you both for the little goodies that you left for us. We would highly recommend that if you are thinking of staying in Victoria this condo is the place to choose, you will not be disappointed.

Best stay in 12 years

Review Submitted: 06/20/10
We have been travelling to Victoria for the last 12 years and have stayed mainly in hotels. Living in the Skyline Suite was a much superior option. We enjoy catering for ourselves, and the facilities were excellent, everything we needed was there. It is also more cost effective and relaxing than always eating out. Steve was genial, helpful and unobtrusive, which made him the perfect host. As mentioned by others, the views and location are great. The modern building is close to downtown and has good access to roads leading out. Parking, visitor amenities and security in the building were ideal. We will certainly be staying at the Skyline Suite next time we visit the family in Victoria, our 2 year old grand-daughter thinks it’s great!

Thank you to Steve for being a wonderful host and tour guide. The condo was exactly as posted and all the amenities in the condo were wonderful to at least get you started. The location is perfect for getting around by car or walking anywhere downtown. The view of the harbour is spectacular! We did not have the greatest weather when we were there but made the best of it anyway and will undoubtedly return for a visit (maybe in the summer!)

In February, my husband and I stayed at the City Skyline Penthouse Suite, finding it to be a very comfortable, well-located home away from home. It is beautifully clean and well-maintained, and food essentials (milk, bread, cereals, tea, coffee, spices) were provided for arrival. Steve was there to meet and help at move-in, provided information about all aspects of visiting Victoria, and was available by phone for any questions or problems with the apartment. All the appliances were of excellent quality and worked perfectly. The description of the apartment on the web-site was entirely accurate and everything was better then expected. The beds and pillows were great! We loved the convenient location and the view. Most of all, we love Victoria's climate and the friendliness of the residents.
