Had a great stay! Location was perfect, Empress, Parliament and break water are an easy walk. Host was easy to communicate with. There’s a store across the street that is very accommodating and convenient. 10/10, would stay again!
Very responsive host to inquiries both before and during stay. Accommodating for our pet's stay to make ours more enjoyable and let us take full advantage of our plans. Easy check-in and -out, as well as very clean home. Terrific location near Fisherman's Wharf for local walking and theatres and store across the street handy for a couple of needed items. Quiet and calm neighbourhood. Happy to return again for another stay in future.

Fabulous walking proximity to fisherman’s wharf. Walking proximity to the Royal BC Museum and downtown restaurants is good. Well appointed kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Couch was comfortable. With the exception of the washroom, the house was clean. Floor fans helped deal with the heat. Pile of junk mail sitting on entrance table. Major toe stubbing metal plate in the living room under the decommissioned wood stove. Partially blocked bathroom sink.Tub surround very stained with dirty crevices and an old bar of soap in it. Shower curtain a dirty orange at bottom. It was hot and because this home does not have air conditioning, we needed to open the windows. But most of the opening windows do not have screens. All opening windows should have screens, even on Vancouver Island, for air flow and to keep out flying insects as well as rats. Deck in very poor shape. Old crumbling turtle fountain sitting on a deck table. Faded Water-stained cat print on outer wall on deck. Deck cushions do not fit deck chairs. House and yard look unloved.
This house was so well appointed - perfect for exploring the city! No need for a car which was so nice for us. We enjoyed the walk downtown every time. The kitchen has everything you need and with the weather being so nice when we were there we could enjoy the back deck and barbecue. I wouldn’t think twice about about renting here again!
This place was spotless! The location was fantastic, too. An easy walk to all the major downtown sights: ferries, museums, shopping, and docks for whalewatching.
Lovely quiet neighborhood, close to many major attractions; walking trails, Fisherman's Wharf, restaurants, Parliament. We could hear birdsong in the yard many hours of the day.
Good little house in an ideal location close to Fisherman’s Wharf. We could easily walk to the downtown area and there is a little grocery store across the street so it was perfect. The host responded to all questions promptly. We could have used more than one tea towel and would have appreciated more bath towels but that’s minor. We really enjoyed our stay.
This charming little house is in the most brilliant location imaginable. There's even a cute little store right across the street for any little items you may need (this was amazingly handy to be able to walk directly across the street to).The house was sparkling clean, and had everything we needed. Super easy check in and out. Very communicative and friendly hosts who were helpful and responsive but not intrusive.Wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect.
