Modern condo in a prime location
The Condo is good sized for family of four, very close to all the major downtown sites in Victoria, including shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay here during the Christmas holidays.
The building is an old hotel Janion completely renovated with modern amenities. The rooms are very clean and neat. The kitchen is stocked well enough to with good quality kitchenware. We could prepare complete meals, plenty for a family of 4. They have some basic cooking ingredients like salt, sugar.
The washer dryer were also conveniently inside the apartment with sufficiently good detergent to clean our laundry.
The wifi worked well and reliably. They also provided login for wifi access in public places through their internet provider which was a bonus as our phones did not have a Canadian data plan.
There are many restaurants within walking distance and the living room has a folder with all the information you would need about local contact, taxi service. BEing walking distance from many of the downtown sites and next to Chinatown, we found plenty to do without having to rent a car.
The common patio area on the top floor is a nice place for a lunch or coffee with a wonderful view of downtown Victoria.
There is no microwave inside the room but you can use the one in the public. The shared fitness room is lightly equipped. Remember to take a towel and your own drink.
Deidre was very helpful with all the tips and responsive to our questions. The condo is maintained well to make the stay comfortable.
Two things travelers should be aware of
- The apartment is below street level and right next to Johnson St bridge. The glass windows are sound proof (even with the road construction crew it was not very loud) but there are limitations on privacy.
- The requirements are for the travelers to pick up keys from another office several blocks away, which is not exactly convenient when you have arrive with luggage. WE had taken the Victoria Clipper and selected the condo since it was relatively close to the terminal. We requested Diedre and she accommodated to hand us the keys near the apartment.
