The property was very clean and pleasant, beds comfortable and warm. The kitchen was exceptionally well appointed! What was not clear in the description of the unit, however, was that it is the top floor of a split level home, so it was accessible only by climbing a flight of stairs, something we wanted to avoid due to certain mobility issues. Overall, however, this was a very nice place, and well worth the stay. Thank you!

Stayed here with family while attending our son's graduation. Very convenient location near the university and also close to shops. Perfect setup for our multi-generation family celebration, lots of space for a comfortable gathering. The kitchen is very well equipped, found everything we needed to cook a couple of big meals. Comfortable beds. We enjoyed the family friendly board games! Good communication with the host via text message. We had a few minor housekeeping concerns that we brought to the host's attention, he responded quickly and indicated that he will address these with his cleaners.

This house was perfect for us. We wanted to spend time together and found the house very comfortable and spacious. We cooked our meals in the well equipped kitchen and played cards in the evening. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable, and the living room allowed for good quality family time together. Ryan was very helpful and responsive to any questions. Highly recommend Ryan’s rental!

Overall our stay was good. Communication with the host was smooth and proximity to the University was great. The space was clean but could have used a better deep clean and yard clean up. It also seemed the owner had an office space in the basement.

Great stay in Victoria

The apartment was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. Nearest attraction was Mount Douglas with many hiking trails and a fantastic 360 degree view when reaching the top. One very good café is in walking distance. Getting to grocery stores requires a car. Overall our stay was very enjoyable. The host was easily reached by phone throughout our stay.
