We had a fantastic time. The location is actually very convenient. Not too far from downtown Victoria plus all shops that you could possibly need within 5 minutes. The suite was really well equipped. The host had really thought of everything you could possibly need or want. The suite was in immaculate condition and very very clean. Strongly recommended.
