Neighbourhood
Our building is just off downtown facing Beacon Hill Park. Safe, fun, vibrant. Theatre, restaurants, strolling, entertainment, coffee houses, it's all within walking.
Nearest airport
YYJ Victoria airport is 35 minutes away in a car. Transit from YYJ is poor. Cabs are around $70 We are adventurous and take the bus from YYJ one hour home but it usually includes a 20 minute walk from airport to the bus stop.
YWH inner harbour airport is steps from the downtown core, the Parliament Buildings and our home! Harbour Air does seaplane flights from Vancouver and several other cities.
Getting around
Walk! walk, walk walk! Or cycle. Yes, you can drive if you have a fair distance but this is a city and neighbourhood for those who appreciate walking everywhere. To downtown, groceries, pubs, coffee houses, you name it - get walking and have fun. We try and live "car light" as the area is so walkable, great access to transit and has some of the best cycling lanes on the continent. We cycle year round.
Transit is as good as it gets in Canada, a bus stop several feet out our front door. We use it a fair bit using transit cards for ease of payment.
We live just off downtown, so parking is very limited in the area. If you plan to drive or rent a car, please discuss with us where you can put it.

Beautiful home located in the best location to experience all that Victoria has to offer. Kevin and Jan are amazing hosts, very organized and easy to communicate with. They made our stay so easy and comfortable. -
Kev and Jan were amazing. We hadn't even done our first exchange, yet they were willing to host us for the night so we could catch our morning ferry to Washington state (for our first exchange). They were kind, personable and exactly what we thought PLU people would be like. Thank you for your exceptional hospitality. And the bonus was the ideal location in the beautiful downtown core. We look forward to seeing you both again. Maybe next time in the Comox Valley? -
Kev and Jan's home was lovely, super clean, comfortable and in a great walking location in downtown Victoria. We enjoyed our few days there. Communication was excellent. Thank you so much Kev and Jan for the exchange! -
Kevin and Jan have a lovely spacious and well appointed condo in a wonderful location just a few minutes walk from the heart of downtown Victoria. We were lucky enough to be hosted by them for 2 nights and it was a fabulous experience - they are great hosts and their warm hospitality made this a truly memorable stay. -
The house is located in the best center of Victoria, opposite Rubicon Park, beautiful with lakes, ponds, bike tracks, sports areas and we even saw a little Bamby, a fawn. Be careful on the paths you take because there are many people who live on the street and you can get scared. The house is beautiful with a terrace that surrounds it. It's a shame that it rained and was cold so we couldn't enjoy it. The hosts are very friendly, they picked us up at the ferry and we are looking forward to receiving them in our house next September. This is a highly recommended place to get to know Victoria. I don't want to forget the bus stop, more than 8 lines stop at the door of the building. You can't ask for more!!!! It has been a perfect stay. -
We were very happy that Kevin and Jan agreed to an exchange. Their location could not have been better, just minutes from central Victoria and many of the main attractions. You can easily walk or cycle everywhere. Their beautiful condo is very comfortable and spacious. Everything was pristine for our arrival and we felt really at home as soon as we arrived. There is a lovely outdoor terrace space to relax after a day exploring. We left with lasting memories of a wonderful exchange. -
It was hard to believe you stayed here, when we returned home! A real pleasure working with you. People like you make the idea of home exchange so life enriching. Thank you.

Kevin and Jan were fabulous hosts and made our stay easy and comfortable. We live 2 hours away so I was able to meet them prior to our stay and get the home details first hand. This home is beautiful! Situated close to so many great places to enjoy, you don't need a car. The famous Beacon Hill park is just outside the condo as well as the Empress Hotel and the beautiful Legislature Buildings at the waterfront. The condo is beautifully decorated and has amazing views of the city. It was easy to access as Kevin and Jan left clear directions and an easy to follow home manual. I highly recommend this home and Kevin and Jan for a home swap. You will have a wonderful experience. We look forward to exchanging with them again. Rone' and Steve
