About the area

Victoria

Located in Victoria, this holiday home is in the city centre and on a lake. Butchart Gardens is a popular area attraction and if an activity is on the agenda, Victoria Harbour and Victoria Clipper Ferry Terminal are worth checking out. Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary and Witty's Lagoon Regional Park are also worth visiting.

This property was beautiful and well maintained. It was comfortable, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel at home. Loved the brightness of the space and the functionality. The neighbourhood was family friendly with walking paths and tons of things to do near by. The hosts were responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

There was branch, acorns, debris on the ground. I use a walker & found it difficult to walk on the property. There were stairs downward into the dark suite. It was mostly cold. There was no access to regulate the temperature. There was dirt in the laundry basket in the bedroom, on the main room floor. It was NOT a ground level suite. We did not use the cooking facilities.

This is very terrible homes. It charged us extra 460 dollars just because we didn't clean rubbish bin. Moreover, it says that it can accommodate four people. However when we ask for extra a beddings, they didn't provide any all. I will never come here again.

The property is everything it says in the listing and so much more! Fully updated suite in a quiet neighborhood, just minutes away from the scenic Ocean Boulevard (spit). We felt very welcome and would gladly come back.
