We enjoyed our stay. The recommendations for things to see and places to eat were excellent. The apt was spotless and a great space to stay. The birds were noisy--but they were all over Victoria!!

The condo was lovely, very clean and with everything provided that we might need. The deck views were magnificent, clear views in the day and beautiful harbor lights at night. We even cooked a few dinners, one on the grill on the rooftop deck. If we needed anything, an on-site manager was always available to help us. The location couldn't be better --- everything within walking distance -- a grocery, coffee shops, downtown mall, the harbor and Chinatown. There was so much to do in Victoria we didn't even have time to go to Vancover. Maybe next time, because we want to come back. We would recommend this condo to anyone -- in fact, we have already given the information to several friends.

My husband and I stayed here for 10 days. It is a very bright spacious condo with big windows that cover the majority of the condo. The views are breathtaking. The kitchen, dining and living area are one large room. The masterbedroom has a nice firm bed and good closet space. Bathrooms had good showers with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was equipt with everything you could need. Parking is included in the rental and is secure. The condo is located within walking distance of many nice restaurants and shopping areas. Parliament, the British Museum, the Bug Zoo and the wharf are an easy 6-8 block walk. The condo was clean and in good working order. We were very pleased with this rental.

Having dinner on the deck with views of the Harbour and the mountains was amazing. We too enjoyed "Red Fish Blue Fish", but beware- just around the corner is Harbour Air - for $99 you go up on a seaplane for a 20 minute flight to see surrounding area- very awesome. We loved Orca Spirit Whale Watching- pick up here at The Juliet- saw orcas, their calves, humpback whales! Our hosts, Liz and Bruce couldn't have been more welcoming. Thanks!

The apartment was fantastic! We really enjoyed the views, the balcony, everything. This was our first trip to Victoria and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the tip about "Red Fish Blue Fish"- the food was delicious. We walked to Oak bay Village and enjoyed a great pub lunch at The Penny Farthing. Thank you for everything.

Beautiful condo with great views! Good location for walking-which we did alot! Rented bikes and rode all over the city. The weather was great after leaving HOT Colorado. Nice change. We love Victoria and will be back.

Thank you for the use of your condo! We especially enjoyed the view. Once we discovered "Big Bus" the car stayed in the garage during our sightseeing excursions. Two days of unlimited use for $25 was wonderful! Bruce and Liz, we appreciate all of your assistance and "tips", but we could not find "Red Fish Blue Fish"-unfortunately.

Amazing city, amazing condo. We have loved staying here- highly recommend Prince of Whales zodiac trip! The apartment was really well equipped and we only used our car once in one week. Love it so much we are looking for houses to move. Thanks lots, Liz and Bruce!

This was our second long-term stay here and we loved it even more the second time! The location couldn't be better: close to concerts, cinemas, restaurants, the harbour, and all that downtown Victoria offers; our favourite coffee shop (Demitasse) is right across the street. The view from the condo is spectacular, the accommodations very comfortable, and the resident managers (Susan and Robert) wonderful. The Juliet is exceptional, as are Liz and Bruce; we highly recommend this place and hope to come back again.

Liz and Bruce, Great stay! Gotta catch the ferry because of that fire, or I'd write more. You've been so helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for the lovely stay. We loved the views and the convenient location- we walked everywhere except to the Castle. We took a bus there because it was raining, but it was worth the trip- such an interesting piece of history! The condo was wonderful- we won't ever stay in a hotel again. Thanks again!

My husband and I and our teenage son stayed here on a recent visit to Victoria. This is a great location, perfectly comfortable, new and immaculately clean accommodation. We loved all of our trip, but I've got to say that a highlight was relaxing on the balcony watching the seaplanes and ferries come and go (that's not something we see on the prairies)! We also enjoyed barbequing on the rooftop deck a couple of times. Liz is fantastic - super friendly and eager to share her city with visitors. I heartily recommend that you can't go wrong here!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Victoria. With a lot of hesitation and uncertainties, we were happily suprised!! We are 28 years old and had the best time ever. The condo, Liz and Bruce, the city, the people.....EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations!! If you are looking for a relaxing time, beautiful atmosphere, and a gorgeous place to wake up to...then book this condo now! It is amazaing. Liz and Bruce are wonderful people and will help you with anything that you need. And Liz is a cute little 5 foot ball of energy!! (LOL Lizzy!!) Thanks again for the wonderful memories. We will never forget you or Victoria :) Love, Tiffany & Derek

What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get...elegant, comfortable and impecably clean. The views are spectacular. It is fun to watch the cruise ships come and go. It is quiet in spite of being in the middle of the city - there is no traffic noise. Easy to walk to groceries, bank, Chinatown, and of course the harbor. Liz and Bruce were extremely responsive, warm, helpful and one of the best parts of our overall experience! Highly recommend staying here!

The problem that we had was that we didn't want to leave the balcony to go do things. It was so pleasant out there with a cup of coffee and the kids asleep. We recommend going to Butchart Gardens late in the afternoon, having dinner and then walking around until after dark. It's all lit up and has a very different feel, especially the big fountain. Enjoyed seeing the floathouses at Fisherman's Wharf. Liz and Bruce made sure the strata was perfect!

Awesome is the only word to describe the location, views and hospitality. Liz and Bruce were incredable hosts. A nightly bottle of wine before dinner watching the float planes and sunsets can't be beat. We look forward to returning some day. Sorry it took two years to write the review but we still talk about your family and friends! We look forward to surprising you in 2012. We will bring the limes!!

Owner response:You guys are hilarious. So glad that your trip was memorable enough to write about two years later. We await your return with open arms.

These accommodations may be as great as it can get in Victoria! Everything it says in the listing is true and better. Besides the amazing view from a clean, stylishly contemporary, top-of-the-world spot to lay your head, Liz, the property mgr is bubbly, fun and full of useful, ever-present tips, guidance, A1 service and information. You truly can't beat this one. Our family of four felt like staying here we were among the world's elite. It was great to have a place to park our car and then we walked to the best attractions and eats. We absolutely recommend Liz and the Juliet bldg.

This condo was just perfect for us. We are four golfers who enjoyed the courses here-Bear Mountain(hard) and Cordova Bay. Everything in the condo was great and Liz and bruce were delightful. My daughter lives here and future visitors may want really good food-please visit the Fort Street Cafe and PicNic Coffee Shop, both on Fort Street. We own those two restaurants, so please stop by. Thank you again- Nancy, Sharon, Gretchen and Judy
