Loved our stay at this apartment. It is huge. Great kitchen, laundry, and living space. Beautiful view. It is about a 30 minute drive into Victoria but can be a bit longer coming home in the afternoon. I would highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very large space super clean, everything you need is supplied. Soaps, coffee, laundry soap. The mornings are very bright as there are no curtains, but that view...stunning! The large bed was super soft to sleep on. The smaller one was not. Could not have asked for a better host, amazing communication! I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great place for an extended stay. The suite is quiet large. The kitchen is large and well equiped for self catering. Plenty of towels and linens. Great location. The view is amazing from the kitchen, livingroom and master bedroom. We enjoyed watching the sunrise over Victoria harbour. It was also great to have a washer and dryer as we stayed for 11 days. Ruth told us to enjoy fresh tomatoes from the garden which we did each evening we made salad for dinner.Yummy.

Ruth’s suite exceeded our expectations. It was bright, clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The location was perfect as it was close to Pearson College UWC and the view was amazing. We loved waking up every morning to the beautiful sunrise and having a glass of wine on the patio in the evening while watching the cruise ships leaving the Victoria harbor. We look forward to staying again next year.

Host was very attentive and helpful when asked.The space is like a small house/apt and self sufficient. Loved the windows but you don't get a lot of privacy except the master. The bath is visible from great room, as the great room does not have any window coverings, not even electric blinds (which would be useful with the hot/warm morning summer sun).Don't use WAZE to get anywhere from the property, it didn't play nice and took us way out of our way a couple of times, costing us time. We had a comfortable stay and I liked the desk area and the kitchen!!Thank you.

Beautiful view!

I had a great stay at Ruth's! This is a spacious suite with a beautiful view! I loved the thoughtful gift basket with Ruth's own homemade goodies plus wine. I did see Ruth in passing but not long enough for a proper conversation. Minimal to no noise transfer and always perfect quiet times for sleep. I did notice a few spiders but there were insect traps in all corners. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is extra bedding, towels and blankets if needed. There was a second bedroom with a single bed that I did not need or use. This vrbo is excellent and I would recommend it!
