Incredible suite With super Location

Warning!! Should read…suite was incredibly supplied and a great floor plan! The condo was quiet except for exceptional external aggravations when windows needed to be open for cooling! Huge flocks of sea gulls screeching day & night plus drugged vagrants during early morning hours were intolerable when weather warmed & there was a need for fresh air! We thoroughly appreciated the well stocked kitchen, the comfortable furnishings, the excellent location, and the support of the property management!!!

Hello Joanna & Jack It is really too bad that you experienced some of these exterior issues. Victoria being the warmest spot in Canada seems to attract some vagrants. There are some pockets of the city that tend to bring these folks out, however the areas change as the police force tends to usher them out after a few complaints. The birds are an annoyance all over town(Victoria is a seaside community), the seagulls are everywhere not just around the Era Building. We find it a little unfair to pinpoint this problem as if it only exists around this building. We are glad you enjoyed the suite itself, and we wish you the best going forward. Rod

Arta Suite Downtown Victoria

We visited Victoria in March 2022 for the first time, and our month long stay could not have been better. This Arta suite felt like home for the beginning. Quiet, well stocked and perfectly located, you could not ask for a better place. We had a rental car, however everything was walking distance. Used the car for longer trips to Tofino, Sooke, etc. Highly recommend this as the place to stay and Melissa and Rod who manage the unit are so very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Very enjoyable four month stay......

"CITY LIFE SUITES", did an admirable job on arrival & departure. They were always available to answer questions that would arise, as we were staying there for 4 months. The app't was as shown, very clean, very well stocked with all you would need. Great TV , approx. (40 inch), WI-FI (unlimited) was excellent, we streamed a lot ! All major appliances worked perfectly ! Noise from within the building was not an issue. This was our first time in Victoria, "IMO", the location was beyond excellent. The harbour is 3 blocks, Irish Times Pub, 2 blocks, you can easily walk anywhere, the downtown is actually compact. The hockey rink is 4 blocks away, superb hockey , Junior A , WHL,...... Many, very nice restaurants are situated , all easily walkable. Shoppers Drugs is about 75 yards away, for quick access. Reserved, underground parking was very easy & handy. All in all, we were extremely satisfied & CITY LIFE SUITES, were prompt, professional & a real pleasure to deal with.....

Lovely stay in downtown Victoria.

The Arta Suite provided an ideal spot for our stay in Victoria. It was a bright, comfortable and well-appointed condo with everything you could need provided. Groceries, restaurants, entertainment and the ocean all close by which made for a very walkable experience - just what we wanted. Melissa and Rod from City Life Suites were wonderful - so friendly, accommodating and attended to every detail. We will definitely be back!
