  • We spent 10 days in the Metro Suite in early October and really enjoyed our stay. Prompt, personalized service from Steve and Trish set the hallmark for this one bedroom condo in downtown Victoria. They made every effort to answer all questions asked. The location is perfect. Walk to great dining, entertainment, shopping and all attractions. Walking distance to Seattle and Port Angeles ferries. Very easy access to included underground parking. 20 minutes to Victoria airport. Very good grocery store only 5 blocks. Fully equipped kitchen for dining in if you choose. Unit is truly spotless - the cleanest accommodation that I have ever seen! Very quiet neighborhood too! I can't recommend this condo highly enough.

  • This was our first experience with VRBO. I am sure we are spoiled now, because it will be hard to top the overall experience. Steve met us at the Clipper dock and kept our bags until we could check into the suite. He also gave us a quick tour of downtown by car so we could get our bearings. This was extremely helpful, since we had several hours to explore prior to our check-in time. As many have stated before, the suite is lovely and extremely well-equipped. The location is fantastic. We didn't rent a car, but did take the city bus out to The Butchart Gardens (go on a day when there are no cruise ships in the port; also go in the afternoon - it was not very crowded at all). When we do get back to Victoria, we will plan our trip around the availability of the suite. Steve and Trish have really thought of everything - it is the perfect place to stay!

  • Annaka and I had such a wonderful stay in the Metro suite! We couldn't have picked a better place to spend our honeymoon. Steve and Trish were both friendly, knowledgeable and had lots of great tips for places to shop, eat, etc... The suite was just like it was pictured on the internet, and had everything we needed. Thanks so much!

  • We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable or convenient place to stay for a month. The apartment was so well equipped that we had everything we needed. And the location downtown...well, it couldn't have been better. Steve met us on arrival (Trish was unavailable at that moment) and made sure we were properly settled in having showed us all the amenities in the condo. Aileen particularly appreciated having the laundry facility right in the flat and what could be better than having a free telephone service throughout the North American continent ?. In fact, everything went swimmingly the whole month...except this year's weather...and Steve and Trish could not be held responsible for that !!!. Having the Inner Harbour so close was a big plus and the bus service right at the door was a blessing. All in all we had an excellent holiday and would recommend this condo to anyone contemplating a stay in Victoria. The very best of "Irish Luck" to you both, Steve and Trish, from Aileen and Bill Rankin.

  • The Metro Suite is a beautiful, secure condo in a great location in downtown Victoria. I have stayed in several condos in the same area but none as nice, as comfortable, nor as well equipped. The owners are charming and were extremely helpful and hospitable. They have provided every amenity you could possibly imagine. I just spent a month in this lovely condo and look forward to another stay in the future.

  • We arrived later than planned but Steve was there to meet us off the bus and show us to the apartment. We were so grateful for the goodies, bread, milk, butter, tea etc and as our bags had not arrived with us the toiletries were most welcome. The apartment far exceeded our expectations and was equipped to a high standard. TV, DVD player, stereo and internet access with free local calls really helped to make us feel "home". The laundry system was great too so no need to bring so many clothes next time!! Trish and Steve went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Their hospitality & frindliness is genuine. Thanks Trish & Steve you helped to make our holiday truly memorable. All the best for the future Chris & Alan...

  • We were so pleased to find such a wonderful place for our week in Victoria. We have used the Vacation Rental By Owner (VRBO) website to find apartments or villas both in the USA and in Europe. Our condo apartment in Victoria rates #1, tied with a favorite apartment in Engleberg, Switzerland. We found our suite to be emaculate and very well equipped. The location was perfect as we just wanted to be downtown near the harbour and great restaurants. We did shop at the wonderful gourmet market for some meals we prepared and served on our deck balcony. The notebook of information was especially helpful in finding restaurants and places we wanted to visit. We would add Camilles to the restaurant list. Steve and Trish are the ultimate hosts. Due to both a plane and ferry delay, we arrived in Victoria at 11:45 p.m. Steve and Trish insisted on meeting us, even at that hour, to take us to our apartment where we found fresh fruit and other choices for snack or breakfast. Having a contact in case of questions or emergency was reassuring. We especially appreciated the use of the phone for calling back to the states due to a family illness. We also appreciate the fact that recycling is expected and made easy. We enjoyed having the harbour, Parliament, the BC Museum, Fisherman's warf, a gourmet grocery, and wonderful restaurant choices within walking distance. Since we had been to some of the other attractions in the Victoria area, we chose not to rent a car this trip. We even took the city bus out to the University as we love exploring different university campuses. We were fortunate to be in Victoria during the Dragon Boat Festival which we enjoyed very much. Nice to compare this benefit to similiar benefits in our home city. We hope to return to Victoria and will check the calendar to make sure this rental is available before we make flight reservations.
