NOTE: Fire inspection July 12, 2023 - temporary unit access required HIGHLIGHTS: - tons of character; one-of-a-kind - all original, local art - KING bed in upper loft - private balcony - huge windows - 12-ft ceilings - roof-top BBQ - gated courtyard - heritage building - original brick and steel - bath tub with bath salts - fully-stocked kitchen - local coffee and loose-leaf tea - local and organic personal care products - hi-speed internet - smart TV - covered paid public parking across street - ideal location - portable AC in summer months --- Our loft is a beautiful heritage conversion decorated with trendy and modern accents. The apartment is located in the Oriental, one of the first hotels in Victoria's Old Town District, originally built in the 1800s. The Oriental is an excellent example of a late nineteenth century Victorian Italiante hotel, with distinct ground-storey arches made possible by the use of cast-iron columns - two of which are featured inside the apartment itself! Throughout the loft you'll find tons of unique touches and details to help make your stay more enjoyable (and memorable). The kitchen comes fully equipped with spices and all the tools you need to cook up a feast. Access to the loft is through a funky gated alleyway, complete with courtyard, while the roof-top deck is accessed through another funky alleyway in the building itself. The hallways of the building also featured exposed brick and steel columns, all from the original Oriental Hotel. *BL #: 00041220

Nestled in the heart of the city this quaint and quiet loft is the perfect getaway! Within walking distance to countless tasty restaurants, bars, pubs, parks, tours, and even a couple of neat museums! The entrance feels straight out of Harry Potter (Diagon alley) and there are many sight seeing attractions near by! Highly recommend!

Robyn was a great host, the location of the Airbnb was perfect for walking around downtown, going to dinner and finding fun things to do. The instructions to get into the Airbnb were very clear and easy to follow. Robyn was very communicative and helpful. Thanks for the wonderful stay in your beautiful place.

There is an 8-storey parking garage just across the street, and temporary passenger parking directly in front of the loft. This makes accessing the apartment by car super easy despite its central location. NOTE: Please do not leave valuables in your vehicle as there have been reports of some break-ins throughout the city. Everything you need is also within walking distance, and there is a lovely waterfront walking trail that goes over the bridge, which leads to Colville Island and its many beaches and parks. There is also a bus stop a 3 minute walk away. Or if you'd prefer you can take the adorable water taxi - there is a stop at the end of the street a 3 minute walk away, where you can also catch the Victoria Harbour Ferry for various boat tours around Victoria. Or go all out and take a float plane, also a 3 minute walk away.
