The space is beautiful! For those that need all three beds, be aware that there are privacy blinds in both of the bedrooms, but not in the living room. So the third bed is very visible, and there are bright lights from the bridge shining in all night long.
The biggest challenge (for us) was the property manager.
- Be prepared for a massive amount of material to review, incl a 22-page prop details doc
- Hidden in the docs is a clause that was not in the VRBO details: "No bicycles are allowed inside the unit at anytime." This was a huge deal for us, as we were on a bike tour, and needed somewhere safe to store our bikes at night (since Victoria is notorious for bike theft).
- I brought up our predicament with the PM, and not only did they not assume any responsibility for the missing info, but their response was unprofessional and defensive, "...it’s standard practice in Victoria that bikes are not allowed in any unit. Not just ours. If you have done this before it’s likely it just didn’t get noticed." The implication is that they are not responsible for posting this since it's "standard practice" for the area, but how would a tourist know this? But also, this is simply not true. We stayed in 2 other places in Victoria in the last 6 months and they not only did they know about our bikes, but helped accommodate them.
- PM referred us to a third party bike storage, which was great, but left us down an additional $180 and we didn't have access to our bikes from 7pm-9am.

We were excited to visit Victoria. The location of the apartment was convenient. Finding a spot to get our luggage into the facility was difficult when we arrived. You cannot park outside to unload; you have to park at a lot across the street and carry your luggage to the building. Once inside there had been a flood and there were dryers all over the hallway. This was disappointing as it would have been nice if the host had let us know. The apartment was fine, a bit small but overall good. The beds were just ok, not that comfortable. Lots of windows to look at the harbour however, when the blinds were up, people walking by can see you very clearly.

The perfect location
The perfection location to explore, bike and paddle around Victoria. This European style condo is very comfortable and efficient, but is a little noisy given the proximity to the new bridge. The nearby restaurant scene is amazing. We will be back again soon and definitely stay here if it is available.

All was well. Heather was very helpful.
Wondering why the wall bed was not supposed to be stowed. We did not need that room for a bed but needed it to store luggage.

We came with daughter and her family .. and found the accommodation just awesome in terms of cleanliness, location and view!! It was outfitted nicely with basic daily needs in kitchen and laundry! We were within walking distance to major attractions and enjoyed the lovely daily view of the sunny skies, blue sparkling water and the variety of water vessels going by continually. Although right near a walkway the blinds worked adequately for privacy and sleep.
We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect accommodation!

The location was fabulous and the unit was great. Very clean and well organized. It was glorious to sip coffee in the morning and watch the water. We even got to see the drawbridge go up! The fact that the keys are located blocks away is very inconvenient. The biggest drawback is the parking. It is way too far away from the unit. Getting the luggage to and from the unit was an onerous process. This is NOT explained in the listing. The distant parking and even more distant key lockbox made the checkout process a nightmare. Fortunately, the location was so great we didn’t need to access our vehicle during our stay and could walk everywhere.

Place was as described. The check in process was excellent and Heather was very helpful. The place had all the amenities and a great location. Even had a microwave in the kitchen so no need to go to the common space to use it. Only thing to consider is it is extremely bright during the day in the living room. The bedrooms have blackout curtains, but the living room only has shades the sun shines through pretty brightly. Other than that, place wass great.

Best Victoria stay ever
We loved the convenience of being on the first floor -- we were able to store our rented bikes overnight on the balcony. Just right for two couples.

Perfect location in such a beautiful city! It was wonderful!
The check in process was so simple, and we appreciated the parking lot right next to the building. We had absolutely everything we needed within walking distance and visited several beautiful beaches and forests that were close by. We LOVED coming home to this modern, clean and beautiful home each evening. We loved cooking dinner in the rooftop kitchen one night, too. Would highly recommend this property, or any of the other properties with this company. We hope to come back soon!

Building location is great, but condo location is not the best.
My husband and I stayed here 3 nights.
Positives:
Property is located downtown and is in walking distance to Chinatown, Victoria Harbor and many restaurants and bars.
Heather with property management is helpful and accommodating.
Comfortable bed and bedding.
Kitchen was well stocked with pans and dishes.
Washer and dryer.
Netflix was a major bonus.
Condo is clean, modern and new.
Located by a busy drawbridge and pedestrian walkway- never a dull moment.
Negatives:
Located by a busy bridge. It will get old fast. Noise, people looking in, etc...
No AC- that means when it’s hot you will need to open your windows. Teenagers smoking pot and partying on the weekend right below your open window sucks.
You will have to pay to park offsite even though there’s a parking garage in the building.
Second bedroom is too small for 2 adults with suitcases.
Glass doors to the bathroom do not block out the light from the bedroom at night- very annoying.
This was a great place for a couple of nights, but by night 3 I was ready to go to a hotel. We would not stay here again because the condo is by a bridge.
2.0
Disappointing
Building location good, but not location of unit; very noisy because it is level with the bridge. More importantly, the internet connection is not good. 2nd bedroom not good; hardly any space between the bed and wall. I scraped my leg many times and, therefore, moved to a hotel which meant spending much more money than intended on this trip. The good features were good washer and dryer, as well as a clean and well stocked kitchen.

Pleasant place to stay
It was a very comfortable and new apartment, extremely well situated to walk everywhere and take a water taxi. We also had a good view of everybody crossing the bridge, which was funny at times. We choose a very good location.
However there were also some other things going on under the bridge, some youth smoking and accompanied by rap music, which isn't our kind of music, so we had to close the window on a very nice balmy evening, unfortunately. We also noticed somebody selling pills on the esplanade and again they always have some rap music with them. That was the minor side of the stay.

Very nice spot
Really enjoyed our stay. In an amazing location. Kinda weird how many people can stare into the apartment as they cross the bridge. But other than that it was an amazing place. Would definitely book again.

Wonderful accomodations
We were very happy with the information provided to stay in this unit. Very professionally completed information to explain how to obtain keys, where to park and the use of appliances in the unit. The view was lovely, even watching a family of 5 otters resting under the bridge, the water taxis and kayakers as well as the raising of the bridge to allow for barges and boats to travel. Very exciting and busy waterfront and foot traffic on the bridge which was great for people watching. The unit was very modern and gorgeous and the kitchen was very well equipped even though we did not have time to cook. The unit was perfect for our family and I recommend it for anyone seeking a newer, clean, safe and centrally located unit, within walking distance to many restaurants and the wharf and Iconic buildings.

Home away from home!
We’re a family
Of five with three teens, we chose a condo to have a home away from home. We loved the ability to walk everywhere! Loved the scenery of the bay and to people
Watch the bridge users. Our fav restaurant Cafe Mexico was just four mins away. We will definitely return. Thanks for
Your hospitality.

My 12 year old granddaughter and I shared the unit! It was beautifully appointed and we loved it.
The water taxis right behind the Janion made it accessible to the Empress Hotel and fisherman’s wharf in minutes. The building is nicely located for shopping and dinning. Really first class all the way! There is some noise early mornings from the bridge demo but it did not really bother us much at all as we got up early to enjoy beautiful Victoria. Highly recommended!
