Victoria is a very walkable city! It is best explored on foot. When you stay at our condo you won't need a car. Our street has red street signs which means it is officially part of the historic neighbourhood of Chinatown, right in the heart of Old Town Victoria. If, however, you need to travel longer distances the public bus service is very effective. There are also shuttle services that can take you to tourist destinations that are outside of town, such as Butchart Gardens. If you have any questions about getting around Victoria by car or foot please let us know. We are lifelong locals and are happy to help you in any way possible. We want to make sure you enjoy this beautiful city as much as we do.

For the security of owners and guests alike, there are security cameras mounted outside the front door of the building, building interior hallways, and the parking garage. There is a decibel monitor in the living room of the condo that monitors but does not record sound.

Please be clear and honest about how many people are staying in the suite, so we can prepare the space to accommodate you.

If you are bringing a bike with you, there are bike racks in the parking garage. You will need to bring your own lock and will lock your bikes there at your own risk. We would recommend keeping your bikes in the unit - but need to do so carefully, not to create any damage to the common areas or inside the unit.

Please read House Rules before requesting to book.

We are a no smoking building. Those who choose to smoke in the unit or on the balcony will be charged $500 for doing so - this is in line with the size of the fine that strata can fine us for breaking the non-smoking bylaws.

As much as we try, we cannot control the weather. We are on an island and the weather sometimes delays travel onto or off of the island. Unless 72 hours notice is provided, we are unable to provide a refund on weather related delays. Please monitor weather forecasts prior to arrival and departure

Please note: construction on our street may take place at sometime during your stay. We have not been provided with a schedule for this- it may happen during your stay, it may not. If you want more information, please send us an Inquiry message. By booking this listing, you are acknowledging that possible construction noise won't be an issue for you and that you understand that no discounts or refunds will be given for this reason.

Thankyou
Very helpful owner and good communication. Condo was very clean upon arrival. Location was just perfect, all the recommendations of restaurants was appreciated. We found some really good coffee shops that had great cheescakes and baked goods, etc. Murchies, Union Pacific coffee were our 2 favorites. I recommend choosing this condo. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay very much.

Great location and reasonable price
The apartment was very clean and modern, and the hosts are very responsive to all communications. The location is great; easy walk from the ferry dock; and many great places to eat within a block or two. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Lea Cathcart

Host profile image
My wife and I are local Victorians who married in the summer of 2015. We live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. One of our main enjoyments is to travel, and we love to host those who are travelling!

Some of our favourite things to do are play sports, hang out with our children, read, travel, play board games, and cook. We have both travelled fairly extensively - Lea has was able to work all over the world having worked in the Cruise Ship industry for 4 years, but we have also gone backpacking over several continents.

We really enjoy having the opportunity to host and to help people out during their travels and guide them to the real spots to see in the city we live and love.

Thanks for reading!
