    • 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.

    • 8/15/08 What a wonderful month's stay in the Metro Suite. Vacation rental pictures online rarely match reality but the Metro exceeded our expectations. It sparkles, bright, clean, nicely furnished with so many personal details to make the stay enjoyable. We so appreciated having juice, coffee milk and bread already in the fridge so we didn't have to shop as soon as we arrived. Our guests really appreciated a sofa bed mattress that is actually comfortable to sleep on. The location is superb - within easy walking distance of the inner harbor, shopping, restaurants, markets, etc. The added bonus is the superb hospitality of our hosts Trish and Steve. They are the kind of hosts you always hope to find - warm, helpful, caring, honest. See you next year! Don and Maria Ort, Cave Creek, Arizona

    • We would like to highly recommend the Metro suite in the Astoria in DT Victoria. This condo has location, style, security and all the conveniences of home. Our hosts, Steve and Trish are wonderful people and communicate extremely well. The accommodations totally enhanced our two week stay on the island. Thanks again! Karen and Lorne Calgary, Alberta
