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 for those who appreciate walking everywhere. To downtown, groceries, pubs, 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 live just off downtown, so parking is very limited in the area. If you plan to rent a car, please discuss with us where you can put it.

Feedback

  • 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

Kev and Jan

Jan and I are mostly retired, managing a few residential properties in Victoria we own. We stay active by cycling, pickleball and hiking. Here it's easy to live "car light" and we do. I'm a Past District Governor with Rotary International and a member of the Rotary Club of Victoria-Harbourside. Our daughters live in Toronto and Berlin. We're open to various lengths and times of year. You will notice I am a crack communicator with quick responses. We also offer Home Hospitality & PLU Guide. (Home Hospitality is where a member stays at another's home while that member is still there. Details in our Home Profile)
