Our host, Doug, was very helpful in facilitating our arrival. We very much enjoyed our 5 day stay in the beautifully appointed and very clean condo. We were in walking distance of many main attractions and areas of interest, in addition to great restaurants and pubs with local craft beers.
We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Victoria.

The Awarehouse Loft is impeccably furnished and maintained. The renovation creating this loft is of top quality. Doug and Jackie greeted us on arrival and provided lots of great tips for visiting Victoria and living in the loft. Super comfortable king bed. Ultra modern and convenient appliances in the kitchen and laundry. Fully equipped, top quality kitchen. There is also what appears to be a very high quality television and entertainment suite although we did not utilize it. The only drawback at this rental is the street noise that makes it into the loft. Even with the windows closed and blinds drawn conversation can be clearly heard from the busy surrounding streets. A white noise generator is in the loft and was helpful for all but the loudest sounds.

Very helpful owner and all arrangements went very smoothly indeed. Light and airy apartment with all the facilities you could possibly want or need. Extremely clean and comfortable. Excellent location but naturally being downtown there was, on occasion, some noise at night time. I would certainly recommend this apartment and look forward to returning.
The other reviews cover it all. This apartment is first class 5 star. There wasn't a fault that I could think of. The bed, linen, pillows, closet, and ambience of the bedroom was lovely. The lounge/dining/kitchen large and with ample area for moving around. The kitchen is as well equipped as mine at home (possibly better!). I like to cook while on holidays and this kitchen provided me with all the necessary pots, pans and dishes, dish washing liquid etc. There is a supermarket about 4-5 blocks away, and a liquor outlet near the supermarket.
It is right in the centre of the town which made it very pleasant being a tourist - walk to everything and there are some lovely places to eat. Found a tapas bar off Government Street in Trounce Alley not far from the apartment where we dined for two nights it was so enjoyable.
Doug and Jaquie were very hospitable and helpful and the compendium in the apartment covers nearly every question you may have about arriving into a new town as a tourist and more! Their representative in Victoria - Cheree - was also very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended.

Our 3-night stay at the warehouse loft was fantastic. It was tastefully decorated, with supremely comfortable, designer furniture and a perfect king-sized bed. The kitchen had absolutely everything you might need for a romantic dinner or a small party; everything from quality flatware and dishes to every conceivable, modern appliance, including an espresso machine. The rooftop patio was incredible overlooking the harbor and downtown. The bathroom was very clean and well-supplied.
The location is right in the heart of downtown Victoria and you can walk to everything. Super convenient and cheap parking. Couldn't be happier, everything as described and it still exceeded my expectations. It can get a little noisy on weekend nights, but closing the windows blocks out everything.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days and the loft was everything we could have hoped for, even better than the pictures. The decor and furnishings are high quality and comfortable, with really everything you could want, including the kitchen. No need to eat out if you don't want to (and we did cook). The historic building and location is beautiful, super convenient to innumerable restaurants, pubs, shops and the water. It's two doors down from a restaurant that was highly recommended to us before coming (Ferris') - we ate there three times! It was so nice have a great meal, have some wine and walk a couple of doors down to get home. For those who care, there's a Starbucks just down the at the corner, but also a lovely local coffee house only a few doors down that serves wonderful local and organic breakfast/lunch. Being right in the heart of historic downtown, it could get a bit noisy in the morning if you have the windows open; however,when we closed the bedroom doors and bathroom door, it wasn't a problem. We had no issues with noise at night. Completely enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again!!

Doug was very responsive and helpful in arranging the reservation. The check in went well; the location is perfect. You can walk a few blocks and find it all. The Condo was clean, well maintained and fully equipped. One note: the bar across the street is loud on the weekend nights, but this adds to the ambiance of downtown living. I would return.
