Downtown Condo with 180-degree Mountain Views - Ten nights Canmore is a town full of beauty and surrounded by magnificent mountains everywhere you look! The vibe is chilled and less intense than in Banff, only 20 km away. We were thrilled to have found this spectacular Airbnb with the most incredible mountain views, including the iconic Three Sisters from the balcony. The Airbnb is a spacious, cosy setup to settle and relax, take advantage of the views and enjoy home-cooked meals, especially the awesome BBQ on the balcony overlooking the mountains. You are only a short walk from the city centre and all the markets if you need to stock up on food and drinks; everything is available without requiring a vehicle. Five stars for cleanliness, and the apartment is fully equipped. No stone is left unturned, from the cookware and utensils to cleaning supplies. Jess and Ryan, your hosts, are warm and welcoming and will make sure your stay is comfortable and very responsive if you need them, but unlikely you will, as they have thought of absolutely everything. We stayed for ten nights, were very comfortable, and had a heavenly sleep in this beautiful property. We were not ready to leave. Recommend this property; you will not be disappointed. Memorable moments, celebrating Wayne's 60th Birthday (where he cooked up a storm on the BBQ) and a visit from our Samui besties to celebrate his Birthday.

We couldn't visit Canmore and the Canadian Rockies without seeing Banff, so we booked the 'Explore Banff' sightseeing tour with Pursuit Banff Jasper Collection, which turned out to be an excellent day trip. With car hire being so expensive in the region at $500+ a day, we opted for a tour that included transfers to make life easier; we were picked up and delivered back to Canmore, where we were staying in our magical Airbnb. An early start to the day, where we were to meet at a local hotel to wait for our transfer at 7.30 am; fortunately, it was only an 8-minute walk from our accommodation. First up was a quick stop to take in the gorgeous Bow Falls, where we popped off the bus and had 20 minutes to enjoy the falls, being up close and personal with them, and for picture opportunities. There was also a telephone booth where a bear had left his mark, with huge claw prints on display. Bow Falls was followed by a gondola flight to the top of Sulphur Mountain summit; the views were something else! You have 360-degree views over the Banff region and a birds-eye view over six Canadian Rockies mountain ranges; they are endless. The journey was less than 10 mins to the top where you could find some cosy, quiet spots for breathtaking pics and to avoid the crowds. We were fortunate to be there at 9 am, so crowds were limited. As we left one hour later, the queues were filling up quickly! Tip: If you need your coffee fix, be sure to do this at the cafe on top of the mountain, you will be disappointed in the Starbucks; the coffee was hardly worthy of a trash can. Note to self, stick by my principles and avoid supporting such coffee brands in the future! After spending one hour soaking up the heavenly views, we were back down to Banff to take in a few sites, including the Cascade of Time Garden, which is also the home of the Parks Canada Administration. This historical building is perched up at the top of Banff, overlooking the township and surrounding mountainscapes. It is a postcard view over Banff. Before boarding the bus, we were all treated to a coffee/tea and biscuit from the company. We then stopped at The Elk + Avenue Hotel for a quick lunch, it was buffet style and hosted in the conference room, very uninviting, and beverages were an additional cost; water was available only. The food was average, with a basic salad with a meat patty. The room was windowless at the back of the hotel; we did stay in this hotel when we arrived in Banff for one night and were also treated with views from our room of the air conditioners on the rooftop, which is not the view you are hoping for in Banff at AUD$500 per night. After about 35 minutes, we were transported off to Lake Minnewanka, about a 30-minute drive from Banff. The largest glacier lake in the region for a relaxing panoramic 1-hour interpretive cruise. More breathtaking mountains and emerald-green water, surrounded by forested slopes and rocky shorelines with waterfalls. Fun fact: The group of Pando trees (also known as the trembling giant or trembling aspen) on the lake are one living organism; they are believed to have one massive underground root system. Therefore they support each other, and if one feels down, they all chip in to help stay healthy. Part of the tree bark is also known to have natural SPF and pain relief qualities. We were keeping a watchful eye out for wildlife all day; unfortunately, no bears, but we did score some elks and a long-horned mountain goat! Following the cruise, we were back on the bus and delivered back to our home destinations. The buses throughout the day were very modern, clean and comfortable. Our bus driver and tour guides, Andrew and Muireann, were a pleasure to spend the day with and very informative in helping us enjoy the beauty of Banff.

It's your 60th Birthday!! Happy Birthday to my darling Wayne. To celebrate this special milestone with you in the Canadian Rocky Mountains was magical. A place that brings you so much joy, surrounded by incredible nature and nestled amongst 360 degrees of mountains, Canmore was perfect! Thank you for taking the role of chef for your special day; it was nice to have a day off:-) A special thank you to everyone who shared their birthday love with Wayne. It truly made his day memorable to see and hear from you all. The past five years have been the best decision we ever made, to travel endlessly around the world together. We have experienced so much together, dined and wined our way around, and created magical friendships, and our days continue to be brighter each day. Looking forward to the next adventures, we truly are blessed to live the life we have created. I love you so much and love our life together. Thank you to everyone who shared a message of birthday love for Wayne; it truly was a magical morning seeing and hearing from you all.

Rocky Mountaineer - Two Days Does the Rocky Mountaineer luxury train trip through the Canadian Rockies live up to the hype? Well, yes and no. Let's start with the 'Yes'; travelling in Gold Leaf gives you some stunning views due to the upper deck and glass ceiling. Definitely a bucket list item, although depending on your age. Let me explain why we think this train trip has lost a little bit of its shine. We did the 'First Passage to the West' trip - marketed as 'Canada's favourite Rocky Mountain getaway. Come for the views; stay for the hot springs.' Current pricing is CAD 5,400 for two people, that's AUD 6,000, that's AUD 3,000 per day. Does this deliver the value of a seven-night Alaskan cruise on a premium cruise line, which is currently around the same price? No. Let's be honest; this is a bucket list item; the average age is 70+, so the value does not matter. We took the Vancouver to Banff Eastbound route. On day one, you must arrive at the station between 6.45 am and 7.15 am for an actual 8.00 am departure. The arrival hall has a self-service coffee station; sorry, not a barrister in sight. Stroll outside the train, and capture some beautiful photos before the crowds arrive. By crowds, we mean that depending on the train's length (we had nearly 20 carriages), each wagon seats approximately 60 people. From the onboard literature, the maximum recorded was 1,300+ passengers. The journey starts with an all-aboard call, with a bagpiper playing, which was unique and special. Here is where the first hick-up started; as we realised the age of the guests, we waited in the rain while the first person was assisted onto the train and transferred upstairs by the internal lift, whilst 60 people queued up to board the carriage. It would have been more efficient to have this guest wait in the golf buggy until the queues had wained or board the guests needing assistance before boarding time. Yes, the carriages are simply divine; currently, they are replacing the Gold Leaf rolling stock, so we luckily scored one of the ten carriages. These include upgraded fixtures and finishes and are simply luxurious and beautiful. Once boarded, you walk up the circular staircase (memories of the golden age of air travel with the onboard lounges on the top deck of a 747). Not sure how you can select a seat; however, maybe your travel agent can ensure you are allocated seats with an entire glass pane; unlike ours, we were assigned the seats with a substantial joiner between windows. At $3,000 per day, I want that whole view experience. The seats are simply divine, fully adjustable, with fine plush leather, cushioned headrest, ample leg room, and the people in front of you, when they recline, will not encroach on your space. The service team of four people is impressive, considering they are shared over two levels, the bottom for dining and the top for seating. The train leaves at 8.00 am; the adventure begins with an overview of the facilities from the ever-attentive team. The dining room downstairs can only handle half the passengers, so the carriage is split into two groups for dining. The first sitting starts at 8.30 am, the second at 10.00 am, don't stress, a freshly baked pastry and beverages are served while the first group enjoys breakfast downstairs in the lovely dining cart. The journey builds like a crescendo, starting with views of a working city. Moving through the suburbs, then onto the plains, while slowly making your way to the mountains. Breakfast was good; remember, each carriage has its dedicated kitchen, so they cook for 60 per carriage. Don't expect fine dining; it's more banquet style, where everyone's orders are taken and delivered as dishes are prepared. The tables are shared, four to a table, so you'll get to meet and talk to great people from all walks of life. Take some time to enjoy the first part of the journey, as the crew will give you the right amount of information on the landscape as you travel through. Spend time on the open-air platform downstairs; we loved the experience and feeling part of nature and landscapes as you speed by. However, the views are better from your seats on the upper floor. The bar opens at 10.00 am, and let's say we quickly took the opportunity to enjoy a finely made cocktail while relaxing, watching the world slowly pass by our window. We didn't particularly like the complimentary wines, so we opted for a beautiful french chablis that was very reasonably priced. However, at this point, I'm confused why Rocky Mountaineer persists with such below-average wines (average $15 per bottle) when Canada produces some excellent wines. You are given a unique lunch menu to select your options daily. All meals are locally sourced from areas throughout the train trip. We found it was essential to listen closely to the crew's recommendations to ensure you enjoy the best dishes. A freshly cooked cookie is served around 4 pm; this was a nice touch. Day one is very long; by the time you get to your hotel room, it's typically 8.30 pm. The train rolls into Kamloops at 7.30 pm. When all passengers board the buses, you arrive at your hotel at 8.30 pm. The travel time is about 20 min drive. One major disappointment was that you could not select your hotel, so our hotel didn't have a restaurant or room service, so if you had the midday lunch, it's now 8.30 pm with no options to eat, and you have a very early start the next day. The accommodation was disappointing; we stayed at Fairfield Inn & Suites Kamloops (2-star hotel), not Gold Leaf service, in our opinion, at this price point. Day two is where the adventure truly starts. Another early start with the bus picking us up at 5.45 am. We decided to skip the 6.45 am breakfast this day and instead caught up with a nap, although the day starts with some magical scenery, so you have to take it in turns to nap. On this day, we spent more time outside in the open-air viewing area, which was simply awe-inspiring, and many new friendships were made while enjoying the fresh mountain air and the journey. Using one of the tips below, we scored a table just for ourselves while sipping a beautiful french chablis and even slowing the meal service. We could not fault the service. The team was amazing! The train stops just outside Lake Louise for about 30-minutes to offload passengers. Unfortunately, you are stationed behind the mountain, so don't expect any lake views. We were very disappointed with this, as one of the reasons we booked this train trip was because we understood we would also visit Lake Louise, might have been careless on our behalf misunderstanding the route. We're now down to the home stretch and exhaustedly arrive in Banff after two very long days. Another 30-minute wait as we waited for the bus to load and drive us to our hotel, which was an 8-minute walk; it would have been nice to be offered the walking option. By this time, it's 8.30 pm, and in Banff, that means only one thing, everything is nearly closed, and most restaurants close at 9 pm. Banff is suffering from over-tourism, with a population of 8,000 receiving up to one million visitors per month in Summer. The locals we talked to in Banff gave us the best advice: to leave and stay in Canmore, only 20-minutes from Banff, with better dining, views, and no tourists. Insiders Tips Most passengers miss parts due to sleeping because of the 12-hour days, so grab naps in the morning; the best views are on both afternoons. It's a diesel train, so bring some wipes, as your face will be covered in soot from the engine using the viewing area. Ensure you have sunscreen if standing outside in the view area, as you'll get plenty of sun on both days. There is always a queue with only two toilets and sixty-plus older people, so try to avoid the pre and post-lunch rush between 12 pm to 3 pm. Are you getting the perfect table for lunch? Two bench seats at the rear of the dining area seat only two people, ideal for romantics like Sally and myself. Make sure you find out your eating time and walk down 5 minutes before opening and then request one of those tables, boom, a romantic table for two. Book a restaurant before getting into Banff as even our hotel restaurant was closed at 8.30 pm. Our verdict We will leave it up to you to make the decision. We all have different travel styles and needs, and wants. Definitely 'Yes' if you're looking for a bucket list item and have the means, do it. The rocky mountains are mesmerising. If you're younger, we recommend considering your options and taking an Alaskan cruise; it will provide you with a much better value experience.

Temsco Helicopters - Juneau, Alaska How do you select the best with so many helicopter flights offered in Juneau? With two different glacier landings and the pilot as your guide, this gave us the best value for money. Thank you, Celebrity Cruises, for having this once-in-a-lifetime experience on your excursion list. The tour includes approximately 50 minutes of helicopter flying time and two separate landings of roughly 15 minutes each. The total tour duration is about 80 minutes. Allow up to 45 minutes for return transportation from where your ship docks and the safety briefing. After arriving at the heliport, you will be outfitted in glacier boots and given a safety briefing by the friendly tour attendant; thank you, Parrish. The pilot will choose two other glacier landings among the 36 named glaciers stretched across 1,500 square miles of the Juneau Icefield; a few landing possibilities include the Herbert, Taku, Norris, Gilkey, and Hole in the Wall or the famous Mendenhall Glacier. Most other tours provide a brief view of the lower glaciers and a shorter flight time with no landings on the glaciers. Therefore, the Pilots Choice is the best. The flight takes you over ice spires, deep blue crevasses, meltwater pools, beautiful glaciers and mesmerising views of the beautiful Alaskan terrain. . With approximately 50 minutes of helicopter time, you have plenty of opportunities to take in views of steep alpine ridges, lush rainforest, and the incredible glaciers below. Our Temsco Helicopters pilot Josiah was incredible, and we landed on two different glaciers and had the opportunity to spend time walking around Herbert and Mendenhall glaciers. Josiah kept us excitedly on the edge of our seats as he expertly manoeuvred the aircraft safely between cols in the mountains and landed neatly alongside a crevasse on the glacier. It was thrilling and definitely one of the most amazing experiences we have had flying. Thank you, Josiah. The colours of the glaciers were gorgeous, and the spectacular mountain ranges were a sight to see. Josiah will also keep you posted on all the wildlife below and the eagles soaring above. It was a magical morning, an experience we never thought possible, and you will have a bounce in your step for the rest of the day.

Celebrity Eclipse - 7 Nights Arriving in Canada for the first time was the perfect opportunity to tick off our bucket list item: an Alaskan Cruise, the inside passage. We are very loyal cruisers with Celebrity Cruises. We were excited to see they had an inside passage cruise leaving Vancouver in early July, a few days after our arrival, so it slotted in perfectly. Following is a summary of our unforgettable Inside Passage Alaskan cruise, we were very impressed with the number of port visits and sea days, making it the ideal relaxing cruise, with a few adventurous days. Our cruise was a 7-night cruise that departs from Vancouver, sails through the Inside Passage, stops in Sitka, flows through Hubbard Glacier, and stops in Juneau and Ketchikan before sailing through the Inside Passage again on the way back to Vancouver. This is the first time we have booked a stateroom at the back of the ship; we have always stayed starboard mid-ship. We booked a Sunset Veranda Stateroom (#7317) and loved being at the back; you are spoilt with magnificent views, perfect for sail-aways, sunsets and relaxing on the balcony. Day one - Vancouver Our very first cruise to Alaska! We are so happy to be back cruising after four years, and it feels like home being back on a Celebrity Cruises ship! We were very impressed with the embarkation process in Vancouver; it was seamless, and within 30 minutes from arrival at the port, we were strolling around the cruise ship enjoying a glass of champagne and could even check in to our stateroom; it was 11 am. Sushi on five, an a la carte restaurant specialising in Japanese cuisine on Deck 5 was open, and we were seated by the window watching the 2000 guests board the ship, we loved the energy from the crew, welcoming all guests with a song and dance. The vibe was so positive and fun! The food and service at Sushi on Five was exceptional, and we found ourselves dining there every day for lunch. A special thank you to the team Onsa, Dan, Mohamed, Sudar, Ryan and Helena for caring for us during our slow lunches. Our first dinner was in Le Petite Chef and was quite a fun experience; a first, and we don't want to spoil the fun, so just a couple of pics! Day two It was a day cruising, a sea day! We woke fresh and enjoyed a slow breakfast in the main dining room. We even saw our first whale breaching while ordering our mid-morning coffees at Cafe Bacio from the energetic and friendly crew. During the morning, the ship started rocking, so our advice if you suffer from motion sickness is to make your way to Deck 3, mid-ship and sit. The best advice is to avoid the feeling by laying low, not making your way to the front, as you will feel the rocking more. It was over in a few hours once the seas were protected again, and everyone was okay. We started the evening with unique cocktails at World Class Bar; thank you, Adrian, Nemanja and crew. We then dined in the main dining room, we did have a set dining time of 8.30 pm, but we have to thank our Mary, the lovely Maître d' in the dining room, she always took care of us and found us an earlier dining slot. The food was beyond perfection, and the attentive service was impeccable. Day three - Sitka Our Alaskan adventure brings us to our first destination, Sitka, Alaska. A small island with a population of 8500, but with four cruises docked, it was 20,000! Sitka had a Russian influence due to being part of Russia until 1867. We explored the town and settled for lunch to try the local halibut, which was delicious and only $50 for a few bites (below)!! While enjoying our lunch, a young man popped over to say hello; he was sailing on another ship that day in Sitka. Our lovely waiter, Mickey, was from one of our favourite restaurants in Belgrade, Bar Sasa. We were all overwhelmed by coincidence and enjoyed the afternoon reminiscing. Soon after Mickey left, we started chatting to another group of lovely boys on vacation from Seattle with their 84-year-old Dad; he was an absolute legend, as were Dan and Dave. It was an extraordinary afternoon on our first day in Alaska, and to top it off, we had magnificent views as we sailed toward the Hubbard Glaciers. Day four - Hubbard Glacier We cruised through the inside passage with an incredible view of the Hubbard Glacier. It was the first time we had sailed through waters scattered with ice; it was a special moment. We had the most fantastic captain; thank you, Captain Leo, who positioned the ship where we could soak up the magnificent glaciers for a few hours. It was mesmerising, and we were fortunate to experience the glacier on a rare clear day to capture the stunning Hubbard glaciers. We finished the day with a lovely slow lunch at Sushi on Five, enjoying these once-in-a-lifetime views and another dinner in the main dining room. Day five - Juneau Today, we arrived in Juneau, the capital of Alaska (30,000 population). We organised a two-hour helicopter flight over the beautiful glaciers and Alaskan terrain. Our Temsco Helicopters pilot, Josiah, was incredible, and we landed on two different glaciers and had the opportunity to walk around Herbert's and Mendenhall glaciers. It was a magical morning, an experience we never thought possible. The colours of the glaciers were gorgeous, and the spectacular mountain ranges were a sight to see. We were back on board for the sail away and enjoyed it in the fabulous Tuscan grill with delicious food, wine and service. A special thank you to Julia, our waitress, who understood our dining pace and was a pleasure to have by our side, serving us during the evening. We loved reminiscing with Mohamad from Tunisia, too. The sail-away views were stunning and reminded us how much we love cruising! Day six - Ketchikan We visited Ketchikan, the first town in Alaska that describes itself as the "Salmon Capital of the World". Ketchikan is well known for its fishing, beautiful scenery and rich Native culture. For those who have watched Northern Exposure, it closely aligns. We loved the colourful buildings, history, scenery and beauty; it was a lovely destination to dock in. The stories of random catch-ups continue; we met a couple on our flight from Amsterdam to Vancouver in Ketchikan as we walked by in the street. They were cruising on Holland America, a cruise ship also docked for the day. I had a lovely chat about our life story and met all their friends, including a sweet Greek man who tried to steal me away from hubby! During dinner that evening, we were also served by a friendly face, Christophe, from our 2017 cruise sailing the South Pacific on the Solstice. The food continued to surprise us, and the duck tonight was mouthwatering. Day seven Our final day was a sea day, where we enjoyed the slow cruising back to Vancouver. We had another slow lunch at our favourite sushi place at five and an afternoon nap as you do on a cruise ship. During lunch, we were fortunate to watch the pilot board the ship. Kudos to Wayne to get this incredible footage. The evening arrived, and we were booked into another one of our favourite specialty restaurants, Murano, with world-class French cuisine crafted by a Michelin-starred chef. We were seated by a lovely couple from Florida, and we quickly became friends and enjoyed lots of banter and trading travel stories. Our friendly sommelier, Tanya, was from Thailand, and we had some fun practising our Thai again and trading Thai travel stories. The dishes were delicious as always; it is one of my favourite restaurants for Dover Sole. Our magical cruise arrived in Vancouver the following day, and booking this cruise was the best decision. You will not be disappointed. Celebrity Cruises continues to exceed expectations and is world-class in its dining options, service, and crew. We love cruising with Celebrity. Surprisingly, boarding a ship for a week was cheaper than paying the exorbitant accommodation prices in Vancouver. You would be hard-pressed to find anything less than $500 per night; if you want five-star, you are looking for $650 per night, including your meals, and you have spent $1000 per day.

Victoria, British Columbia - Three nights Victoria is the perfect pocket-sized city to stroll around and immerse yourself in for a few days. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and has recently been voted Canada's best small city, and we have to agree. We arrived on a short 30-minute seaplane flight from Vancouver. Alternatively, you can catch a ferry, but if you are short on time, we recommend the seaplane experience. This charming and colourful city sits on the southern end of Vancouver Island, is full of beautiful parklands, is known for outdoor activities, and is surrounded by coastline. The city's British colonial past shows its Victorian architecture, gardens and layout. The city is bursting with fresh flowers and exudes a genuine warmth from all the people. We felt very welcomed and loved exploring and enjoying the laidback nature. You are spoilt with the fresh farm-to-table dining options, and we enjoyed a very slow lunch with exceptional cocktails and service at The Courtney Room. We loved all the wildlife as we roamed around the immaculate gardens. One morning we came across a turtle sunbaking, a heron nesting, a wild deer strolling along the pathway, and squirrels playing in the park. Later in the day, we saw a sea lion and otter playing around, hoping to be fed by a nearby restaurant, and caught a glimpse of a seal as we arrived across the harbour on our water taxi! Special moments! We loved exploring Fisherman's Wharf Park, a pleasant stroll from the centre of Victoria, a quaint floating pier of food outlets and floating homes. Be sure to catch one of the cute water taxis home from Victoria Harbour Ferry; you'll be smiling for days. If you are lucky, you will even see seals on your way back. Victoria is home to Canada's oldest Chinatown and the second oldest in North America after San Francisco. You will love roaming around all the little alleyways full of lanterns. We found a lovely Airbnb near Chinatown; it was the perfect location. We even found a cosy neighbourhood coffee shop called Bean Around The World. The cafe was full of locals sharing stories, and the coffee was in 8oz cups and was delicious. In most coffee shops in Canada, the smallest cup is 10-12oz! We also had the most wonderful experience buying groceries on our first night. If you're staying near Chinatown, visit the local package-free grocery shop, Zero Waste Emporium. You bring your own containers to self-serve while minimising your impact on the environment, something unique; I genuinely hope this store grows in popularity. Don't worry; they offer free recycled containers for those new to the concept. The ability to gain the benefits of buying in bulk without wastage is a concept that needs to be taken worldwide. Victoria is just such a pretty little town that we could have easily stayed longer if time permitted.

Cardero's Restaurant - One visit Cardero's built over the water with simply breathtaking views of the harbour, mountains and the marina with food to match in the heart of Vancouver. This restaurant is very popular during the lunchtime rush, so coming a little later will give you a better experience. While busy, we enjoyed the service. The team still took the time to chat, handle our queries about wines, and move us to a window table when one became available—spot-on service. The food was hearty, and we decided to share the battered fish and chips, a specialty main dish, which was delicious and tender without being too strong (so perfect for those seafood novices like Wayne). Whether you are inside or out, the views are breathtaking, and the decor fits in with the style of the building. Pricing is standard for Vancouver, based on the size of the meals you are best to share. The wine list was extensive, and we enjoyed a beautiful Monterey Pinot Noir with a 3.8 rating on Vivino.

Harbour Air - Four flights The best commute from Vancouver to Vancouver Island is by seaplane. Flying was the perfect transportation for our mid-week getaway to Victoria (Captial of British Columbia). When researching ways to visit Victoria on Vancouver Island, we decided to take a seaplane over the ferry to maximise our time whilst making the most of the opportunity to take in the scenery, as it is not only a direct flight to Victoria but a scenic flight too. Harbour Air has the most efficient check-in and boarding process. Located in the heart of the city, so easily accessible, only a five-min walk from our hotel. You need to be there 30-minute prior; after a quick check-in, you can relax in the beautiful lounge, enjoying a beverage of your choice. You can even purchase a glass of champagne. The take-off was incredibly smooth, and we noticed the regular commuters carried air buds to reduce the noise, although we were not bothered by the noise. Magical scenery over the 35-minute flight, definitely ticking off another bucket list item for Wayne. It has been a month of them since we arrived in Canada. Harbour Air has a very flexible booking process, whereby if you need to make any changes, you can do this up to four hours online before your flight with no charges assuming you have booked a flex fare. The flight was smooth and simply just fun, with plenty of smiles from even the seasoned commuters. If you want to save time, we recommend booking your flight with Harbour Air. You will not be disappointed.

Super Clean, Legal, 4th Flr 1 BR in Old/China Town - Three nights The perfect Airbnb in Victoria. We were very impressed by the quality of the home, and no detail has been left unturned; you have everything you need and much more. The location is very convenient, and you can easily stroll around Victoria and enjoy all the sights and local restaurants. You are also very close to Chinatown, the oldest in Canada. We found the apartment quiet and immaculately clean, very comfortable with fast wifi, and we work remotely, so this was perfect. Paul & Takayo, your hosts, are a pleasure to communicate with; they are accommodating, warm and friendly. You will find everything you need and more in this Airbnb. The kitchen was fully equipped, so you could enjoy cooking meals at home if you stayed in for the evening. We would recommend this lovely Airbnb for a couple, and you are also spoilt with magical sunsets most evenings.
