The suite was very clean, check in was a breeze, bed was comfortable, and had pretty well every amenity one may need. Very nice natural light and we were greeted with some yummy treats. There was a little noise one morning above us and the 10:00 checkout felt a smidge early, but overall it was a lovely place to stay in a nice, quiet part of the city.

Linda has thought of everything to make the transition into Rosie’s Retreat seamless. Be sure to check out the kitchen before shopping as a lot of staples are already there. It was very easy to prepare our own meals with full sized appliances and kitchen equipment. The bed was very comfortable! The apartment was like new, well appointed and just like the photos. There was very good light, both with electric fixtures and natural lighting.

Fabulous apartment

Rosie's retreat is a great place to stay in Victoria. Located in a quiet neighborhood just 20 minutes drive to downtown Victoria. Linda is a great host. She left us a few "extras" which we really appreciated. She was also quick to respond to us and checked in to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend!!!

Everything was set up very well. Fresh pastries on table when we arrived to a clean well designed suite.The kitchen was well supplied and was laid out nicely.A pet bed and dog supplies were in place for our dog and we found it easy to walk the dog with a number of nice quiet dog walk routes from the doorstep. Our host was very responsive and helped make our stay even better.I will be recommending this location to our friends.

Even from before our stay I could already tell Linda was a super host. She had timely responses, good information on things to see and do and you could just feel the care she has for you and her home. First steps into her home, was a clean breath of fresh air. We were greeted with some treats and a warm welcome message. Loved the heated bathroom floor and comfy bed. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and only 15 min from the downtown area. I highly recommend this place for your next getaway. Thank you Linda!

A fabulous place - bright, modern, super clean, well furnished, quiet, with its own private entrance. This is probably the best place we’ve ever stayed at - Linda thought of everything one would ever need during a stay - in fact it’s probably better equipped than our house at home. You can tell she takes great care of the apartment with superb pride of ownership. Really nice touches such as welcome note and little treats upon arrival made us feel very welcomed and valued. Thank you again for making our trip to Victoria such an amazing experience!
