Why they chose this property

We love charm of staying in a heritage building in the heart of Victoria's downtown. We travel to Victoria often and decided to purchase the loft for our use throughout the year and make it available to travellers who want to visit Victoria. We are now residents of Victoria and have made our lovely loft available to others on a monthly basis.
