We loved the location! The house is so close to everything and made our weekend so easy to get around and do all the fun activities within Victoria. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. The store across the street was a big help when we needed something. We would definitely stay here again!
A cozy and quiet spot, very comfortable. Well set up, and the location was wonderful--very close to Fisherman's Wharf and downtown, with stores and restaurants all within easy reach. The host was great to deal with. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
We are return guests, and that says a lot! When we stay here we are relaxed and can focus on our visit, not logistics.The location is unbeatable, and the hosts make you feel truly welcome and connected.Love it!
This place was spotless! The location was fantastic, too. An easy walk to all the major downtown sights: ferries, museums, shopping, and docks for whalewatching.
Unbelievable location - close to everything. Property was clean and kitchen well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Key was a little hard to use (lots of jiggling). Would be perfect with keyless entry.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate your feedback and are glad you brought the key issue to our attention. We’re happy to let you know that it has now been fully resolved. We hope you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you choosing our home.
Lovely quiet neighborhood, close to many major attractions; walking trails, Fisherman's Wharf, restaurants, Parliament. We could hear birdsong in the yard many hours of the day.
Had a great stay! Location was perfect, Empress, Parliament and break water are an easy walk. Host was easy to communicate with. There’s a store across the street that is very accommodating and convenient. 10/10, would stay again!
Good little house in an ideal location close to Fisherman’s Wharf. We could easily walk to the downtown area and there is a little grocery store across the street so it was perfect. The host responded to all questions promptly. We could have used more than one tea towel and would have appreciated more bath towels but that’s minor. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and your stay. We wish we had known about the extra towels during your visit—we would have been happy to bring more over right away. Appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again!
Very responsive host to inquiries both before and during stay. Accommodating for our pet's stay to make ours more enjoyable and let us take full advantage of our plans. Easy check-in and -out, as well as very clean home. Terrific location near Fisherman's Wharf for local walking and theatres and store across the street handy for a couple of needed items. Quiet and calm neighbourhood. Happy to return again for another stay in future.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Fabulous walking proximity to fisherman’s wharf. Walking proximity to the Royal BC Museum and downtown restaurants is good. Well appointed kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Couch was comfortable. With the exception of the washroom, the house was clean. Floor fans helped deal with the heat. Pile of junk mail sitting on entrance table. Major toe stubbing metal plate in the living room under the decommissioned wood stove. Partially blocked bathroom sink.Tub surround very stained with dirty crevices and an old bar of soap in it. Shower curtain a dirty orange at bottom. It was hot and because this home does not have air conditioning, we needed to open the windows. But most of the opening windows do not have screens. All opening windows should have screens, even on Vancouver Island, for air flow and to keep out flying insects as well as rats. Deck in very poor shape. Old crumbling turtle fountain sitting on a deck table. Faded Water-stained cat print on outer wall on deck. Deck cushions do not fit deck chairs. House and yard look unloved.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the location, found the beds and couch comfortable, appreciated the well-appointed kitchen, and enjoyed being within easy walking distance of Fisherman’s Wharf, the Royal BC Museum, downtown, and local restaurants.
We appreciate your comments regarding the cleanliness of the bathroom and will address those items with our cleaning team to ensure they meet our standards.
Our home is intentionally presented as a vintage character home, and our listing photos accurately reflect its style. Many of the original features and unique touches—including the vintage cat artwork and other character elements—have been deliberately retained as part of the home’s history and charm.
Regarding the garden, we do have a gardener who maintains the property. However, during the summer months we are subject to municipal watering restrictions, which can affect how lush the landscaping appears.
We would also like to clarify that while some windows do not have screens, we have never had issues with rats entering the home. This comment appears to have been a concern rather than something experienced during the stay.
We appreciate all guest feedback, as it helps us continue improving the guest experience while preserving the unique character of our home. Thank you again for your stay, and we wish you all the best.
This charming little house is in the most brilliant location imaginable. There's even a cute little store right across the street for any little items you may need (this was amazingly handy to be able to walk directly across the street to).The house was sparkling clean, and had everything we needed. Super easy check in and out. Very communicative and friendly hosts who were helpful and responsive but not intrusive.Wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We’d be happy to host you and your pup anytime.
We loved the location of this home! It is close to downtown but a little more quiet. The home is older but was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!
This house was so well appointed - perfect for exploring the city! No need for a car which was so nice for us. We enjoyed the walk downtown every time. The kitchen has everything you need and with the weather being so nice when we were there we could enjoy the back deck and barbecue. I wouldn’t think twice about about renting here again!
