This small apartment is a fascinating place. The building dates back to between the wars and is furnished with old style furniture that is in keeping with the period. The huge north facing window lets in a lot of light for the sitting room and the remaining two outside walls have large fenestration that is also illuminating. Fortunately the plumbing fittings are modern but retro-styled to be of the same time period. The kitchen is small but fully equipped but I feel that you would need the skills of a rail-car chef to produce a large meal for several people. The shower I found to be challenging. The tub is an old claw foot cast iron or steel tub with rounded corners to the bottom. Standing in it I found to be unsteady. However we stayed for a month and became used to it after a few tries. We intend to return next year for a few winter months. Incidentally the heating in the winter was adequate and I loved the old cast iron radiators. Reminded me of my old red brick grammar school. The location is splendid. Local shopping available and downtown Victoria is less than 15min walk away.
