  I was a bit hesitant to go down the vacation rental path, but this wonderful property and the professionalism of the owners has me converted! I had a short notice trip to Victoria, for just under a week and needed a location that was central and a space that was work functional. Teresa and Preston were very accomodating with check in/out, etc and the condo was a great home base for work during the day and sightseeing by foot/car afterwards. If you haven't visited Victoria before... trust that this unit is in a perfect location, and I say that as someone who was born and raised in the city. It is within walking distance of all Inner Harbour attractions (Museum, Empress Hotel,etc) while being fantastically central to the unique shopping and dining locations downtown/Chinatown. (Note: Harbour Ferries are literally at the front of the building as an alternate to walking 10 mins or so to the Museum, etc) The building itself is highly secure and the views from the condo are amazing. In the short time I was there, I had the opportunity to watch a large Hawk perched on the deck rail, hunting for lunch as well as watching Sea Otters and Seals in action on a daily basis. Note: There is also a great view of the Johnson St draw Bridge in action as large ships and barges pass through. Enjoy the current bridge while you can as the 90 year old landmark is scheduled for replacement with a modern, hi-tech equivalent in 2013.

  Words cannot describe the location and comfort of this condo. We have stayed in a number of VRBO's in Victoria over the past 3 years while our own new condo is being built and this was by far the best we have had the chance to enjoy. Treat yourself to a stylish, immaculate condo with absolutely incredible views of Central Victoria, you will not be disappointed. Teresa and Preston were perfect hosts, greeting us upon our arrival and offering all sorts of new ideas and places for us to explore. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our stay for some additional nights and still did not want to leave. Only one problem, we wish it was ours.

  I had the pleasure of 3 days at the luxuriously appointed Pied-A-Terre Penthouse and could not imagine a better place to call "home" during my stay. I awoke each morning to views of the Inner Harbor, surrounded by the happy bustle of tourism, shops, live music, eateries and even a street festival. All within ridiculously easy walking distance. After a busy day, I'd come "home" to this peaceful retreat, spark the fireplace and watch the sunset from my private balcony overlooking the water...glass of pinot noir in hand. And for that "little extra somethin' somethin' ", I took the owner's advice one evening and climbed the stairs leading up from the living room...TO THE ROOF! From this ultra-private and superb vantage point, views of the dazzlingly illuminated city below were mesmerizing...The Empress Hotel, Parliament Building and more. At the end of the evening, I'd climb down, close the hatch and fire up the intuitively-appointed kitchen to take a break from the restaurant scene, to cook a relaxed meal. Finding a more exclusive, beautiful and contemporary location - with it's stunning proximity to so much "life" around you - in the midst of Downtown Victoria - would be impossible in my opinion. That's why I intend to return again and again. Thank you, dear hosts, for this incredibly delicious little slice of heaven.

  The property was just as presented in the VRBO site. Great view of the inner harbour. A block from Chinatown and walking distance to all that downtown Victoria has to offer. Restaurants and shops galore. The unit itself is professionally decorated with a well equipped kitchen. There is the buzz of traffic and distant drone of sea planes-- but this is mainly when windows are open and just adds to the city center location of the unit. Perfect sized unit for a couple. Three would be a crowd.

  We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful, immaculate, well equipped, perfectly located condo. The knock out view surrounds you with south and west views of all the fun & interesting activity in the harbour and beyond. The private rooftop garden is an amazing space- also with outstanding wrap around views of Victoria and the harbour, and we were able to enjoy it on a number of warm fall days. This location (design district) is perfect for sightseeing, walking, biking, kayaking (rentals close by) and partaking in all the wonderful independent retail stores, restaurants and coffee shops-all within walking distance. We parked our car in the garage and rode our bikes or walked for most of our stay! The Pied-A-Terre went beyond our expectations, thanks to the owners who really have seen to every detail-thanks Teresa! We love Victoria!

  Wow! The perfect spot to spend a weekend in Victoria.The views from inside the penthouse were amazing and then up to the private rooftop patio for morning coffee, sunset dinners. Parking the car in the underground and walking everywhere was wonderful. It couldn't have been better and I don't think you could find a better location to see downtown Victoria from. Highly, highly recommend.

  We booked the suite for 2 nights, and had a great time exploring downtown Victoria. Everything from Parliament to chinatown is in close walking distance, along with great food, and delicious microbrews at the canoe club. The rooftop deck is an fantastic place to watch the sun go down and the city lights go on over a glass or two of wine. The furniture and little details in the suite are all first class, and it's truly a pleasure to be in.

  The condo was exactly as described and what the photos illustrated. It is located close to China town and other downtown Victoria attractions. There are several restaurants and shops within a few blocks of the condo. There is also a water taxi stop almost at the front steps of the building. This makes all of the harbor attractions only a water taxi ride away. We loved chilling in the condo watching the harbor boats, float planes and kayaks. We also liked walking along the streets and trails along the water. We would definitely recommend the condo to others visiting Victoria and would stay in it again.

  My wife and I rented for a week recently and were pleased in all respects. Owners are very personable and provided thorough orientation to the unit and area upon our arrival. Condo located easy walking distance to main part of town but in a quiet location overlooking the harbor. Furniture is comfortable and in like new condition; unit is tastefully decorated in contemporary style. It's not huge but was big enough for our needs. Roof patio is a nice feature but unfortunately was too cool during our stay to enjoy. Buiding is close to walking path along the water and long bike trail. Gastropub style restaurant across the street has very good food and drink. We wanted to explore the environs so we rented a car & unit does include underground parking space. Highly recommend & would return.

  My fiancé and I stayed in the condo just a couple weeks ago. It was perfect!! For starters, checking in and out was so easy. Any preconceived notions I may have had about the "convenience" of a hotel have been completely wiped away. This was a superbly pleasant and luxurious stay. The apartment is well decorated, but homey. The owners even left bathrobes and slippers in the bedroom closet to boot. There is a semi private rooftop accessible through a rooftop hatch. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast up there. It was beautiful and relaxing. The apartment's location is ideal. It's right in the center of where you really want to be, especially for evening entertainment. My fiancé and I rode our bikes from Sydney and there was even a bike rack in the very secure garage where we were able to comfortably store our bikes. Logistically, the weekend couldn't have gone better. The owners and e travel agency are very accomodating and made a last minute l weekend getaway as effortless and stress free as possible. I will definitely be a returning customer. :-)
