Clean and cozy
We stayed for the month of April. The unit was as described. It was clean, cozy, well equipped and located in a quiet neighbourhood. We had only two issues and Neil responded very quickly to both of them. Being on the lowest level of the house, there were occasional walking sounds from the unit above, but this should be considered normal for a wood frame building. For those who like walking, the relatively flat streets in the area made for satisfying walks.

Lovely, clean, well appointed apartment,
This is a lovely place to stay, everything you might need is here. There is a coffee spot about 10 minutes away and a square 15 -20 mins away with a bar, restaurants, and a couple of grocery, convenience stores. A shady leafy street with lots of trees. Lots of space and although a semi basement apartment, there is good lighting, with lots of windows. The neighbour's are friendly and the hosts are very helpful and responsive. Definitely recommend this vrbo.

About the host

Hosted by Neil and Heidi Piller

Host profile image
My wife Heidi and I, and our high school and university aged children, love spending time outdoors (canoeing, hiking, kayaking and surfing) and traveling. Our main base is in Vancouver but we also spend time with our family in Victoria and at our home on Mayne Island. Most of our rental properties are long term but we are pleased to offer this unit for shorter term rentals. We have two fully suites in Fernwood House available for 1-12 month rentals. View our other VRBO studio listing at 875580. We are members in good standing with Landlord BC and enjoy taking good care of our tenants and our rental properties.

Why they chose this property

in 2016 we purchased the six-unit Fernwood House in Victoria so we would have a place to stay when we are on Vancouver Island. The Ferwood area has a great vibe and we love walking up the Cornerstone Cafe for a coffee or to the Fernwood Inn for dinner. We have just finished renovating and furnishing this unit for rentals of 1-12 months. We have stayed at many VRBO properties around the world and know that you will enjoy this great central location in Victoria.

What makes this property unique

Fernwood House was built in 1913 as a large single family home. More recently it was converted to a legal six-plex. For more history on this great neighborhood visit:
