About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private & Cozy Space

Ground floor suite in my beloved, peaceful home on a quiet street very close to everything! Fully self-contained, 1 bedroom; private entrance & a comfortable vibe.

Please email w/any questions regarding dates. It's a great, quiet, safe neighbourhood, with a 9-hole golf course only a few minutes walk away, along with a recreation centre, plus a 5km walking chip trail around the course. Hillside Shopping Centre is only a few minutes away. The #4 city bus offers transport to downtown within 15 minutes, and the stop is right around the corner. It's convenient to downtown, the University of Victoria, Royal Jubilee Hospital and Camosun College (Lansdowne Campus). Safe, street parking is available.

Warm, inviting and welcoming. I hope you find it provides an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

The space is a great reprieve from the heat in the summer. It can be a bit on the darker side in the fall and winter months, but I have provided ample lighting to give it a warmer feel.

*Just slightly higher than 6'1" ceilings. A few spots anyone taller will have to duck and one structural beam between the living room and kitchen that is sure to smart if you hit your head on it.

A nice, tidy apartment

Very quiet location. Comfortable bed. Water pressure & water temperature was accurate. Location was 10/15 minutes walking distance to shopping & groceries Bus was frequent in both directions and the 5 all day pass was very convenient for on & off touring. Bathroom was a bit small for larger individuals but lots of room in other areas of the sub basement apartment. The unit was well equipped for cooking & fridge was a good standard size. Owner was helpful in relaying information pertaining to bus changes & garbage collection days. Washer & dryer were available.

Comfortable with great location

Small but comfortable living room and bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom was small but adequate. Location was great and Rita was helpful and friendly. Parking on the street was good 95% of the time but can park in the driveway the other times. Clean quiet and economical. Two month stay was very nice. We really enjoyed doing many things in Victoria and we would stay here again next time we’re back on the island.

Excellent location

We very much enjoyed our time at Casa Grosvenor. Rita’s place was cozy and comfortable and it was easy to get anywhere from her place. Rita was extremely helpful and accommodating and very knowledgeable about things to do in Victoria and surrounding areas. She was so easy to communicate with and always answered any questions we had promptly. I will definitely refer any friends or family members to Rita’s place.

The accommodations met our expectation

Cozy, Quiet, Comfortable & Convenient......... Rita adds her own friendly and personal touch to make a stay here enjoyable. This location is central to transit and a large shopping mall. Though the bath is a bit small, it meets the need and the bed is VERY comfortable. The fact that Netflix is provided is an added bonus.

Great place to stay in Victoria

My daughter and I stayed four comfortable nights and look forward to visiting again. Rita was super nice and fun to meet. Victoria is such a great place to visit and Rita has provided the perfect place for us to stay when we visit. My daughter is 5’11” and was comfortable with the ceiling height, but said she wouldn’t want to be any taller.

Good and quiet location, great value for money

My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much: Good wifi, great shower water pressure, quiet street. Rita was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in an late check-out. Ceiling is low indeed, with a beam at 1.75 m, but unlike a few previous reviews I did not find it to be big issue (I'm 1.78 m). Good access to bus (#4), or one could even walk to downtown. Great value!

More than promised

The pros were it`s location and price, and a good quality bed. It`s cons were that there was no patio or outdoor relaxing space (as shown on pictures, but rather two metal chairs on a driveway next to a parked car), no fresh flowers on arrival (as promised), frequently no place for parking (owner takes driveway and street parking is very full), a dirty smelly fridge full of items left by others (including expired dairy), no laundry facility, 2 old towels per person for 2 weeks, and a hazardous beam at 5 ft 8 in the middle of the kitchen/living room area that could cause a serious head injury.

Comfortable and easy stay

Casa Grosvenor is a lovely place to stay when travelling to and around Victoria. It is a generous and comfortable one bedroom suite; the kitchen is well equipped; and it is centrally located with easy access to the major routes. It is a mature house in an older part of town; and so some local tolerances are in order: don't be too tall and drive a smaller car. In sum, Casa Grosvenor is easy to enjoy.

Charming with all of the amenities to make our stay stress free. Centrally located - perfect!

Rita is awesome! Very genuine, thoughtful and considerate. She wanted to be sure we had everything we needed to enjoy and take in all of Victoria; right down to sharing her favourite places to eat out. Overall so terrific!! We visit Victoria frequently and would highly recommend this location for others.

Beautiful suite❤️

Thank you, Rita, for this lovely space. I visited my twin for our birthday and each day my nieces picked me up and we either walked or caught the very convenient BC Transit bus to get out and about in Victoria! We hiked at Lake Thetis and it was breathtaking. Each night I was able to relax in your beautiful suite. Rita is a very hospitable owner. It is perfect for one person and probably a couple too. The shower is a bit snug but not uncomfortable at all. I would definitely stay here again for my next visit.

Comfortable, gracious host but short ceilings

Rita is a good host who tries to make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed everything about our stay except for the ceiling height, since we are 6'4" and 6'2". At 6'4" my head was just touching the ceiling with my shoes off ... so you will enjoy this property if you are not over 6' in height, but if you are very tall it may not be suitable for you. Great location, central to everything. Enjoyed having the Netflix available too!
