Great place to stay in a friendly neighbourhood. Close to parks, cafes and not too far from downtown. Very clean. Home bodies note that it is on a main road so there's a little traffic noise. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay in this cosy little studio
I loved my stay at Fernwood House. Everything was just as represented in the vrbo listing. Immaculate, in a good, central location, with my own parking spot...great king-sized bed, responsive host, top-of-the-line everything.
We enjoyed our stay in the historic Fernwood district. Loys of great, interesting neighborhood walks. We could walk to the shopping mall and grocery stores. Bus service was also nearby. The studio apartment was was well equipped. The very comfortable bed was particularly appreciated. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a getaway to a lovely city in a safe, quiet neighborhood.
Neil and Heidi's Studio rental was a pleasure to occupy. A well equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The king sized bed was very comfortable. An electric fireplace was a bonus. The location is idyllic. A quiet neighbourhood but close to a major bus route. Within walking distance of grocery stores, the Hillside mall, cafés and pub, etc. Neil and Heidi are great hosts. Would definitely stay here again.
stayed here for 1 month. overall great place to stay. place has everything you would need for a short term stay. very comfortable bed and great shower. This is a single unit on the main floor of a house so can be a little loud at times - just footsteps and people talking in the hallways and doors closing which may be bothersome if you like to sleep in and are a light sleeper. also there's loud music from the streets on weekend evenings but it doesn't go on too late. overall, would stay here again.
Enjoyed our 6 wk stay so much last year, we returned to Fernwood for a second fall vacation! Wonderful hosts, cozy retreat & greatest location to access all of Victoria.
The place was very well equipped, bright warm and cheery. Only cautions are stairs if limited ability and not enough electrical outlets. We needed to borrow an extension for a cpap machine.
I came for medical reasons. Excellent place, close to medical facilities. Neighbourhood lovely for walking, dining, cafe's, markets. Place was clean, bright, nicely furnished, VERY comfortable. Very quiet from others in suites/road traffic.
Situated in an area quick to downtown Victoria, beach walks, exploring various neighbourhoods./activities. Kitchen, linen closest, closets were well equipped for a long stay.
Neil or Heidi were very quick to respond to any concerns or questions.
Highly recommended!!!
This comfortable, clean , bright apartment is perfect for walking around the area to see the blooms. Mostly it is flat, unless you want to walk to the Fernwood Square or the Hillside mall. And those are not long walks. You can easily go downtown if you chose.
The apartment is clean and has everything you might need, modern appliances in the kitchen. The only unusual aspect is entering through the bed room. Laundry is a separate area but easily accessible. Other tenants friendly , i could easily have stayed there much longer, so comfortable.
The owners are not on site but easily contacted and very good to deal with.
I stayed here for a period of 6 weeks. It is a very well thought out apartment, everything you could need is already waiting for you inside. Along 2 major bus lines, so I never had an issue travelling around. Also within walking distance to many amenities. I would definitely stay again! The house was very clean and check in/out was easy. I had no issues with laundry or noise from neighbours.
I had the opportunity to stay here for 10 weeks and was very impressed and comfortable for the duration of the stay. Very clean, Comfortable king size bed, clean kitchen with all the needed utensils, appliances and dish ware. Great location with parking on the property. More than 1 unit on the same property but I didn’t hear a sound the duration of my stay. Can’t say enough good things about my stay!
The suite is extremely well thought out. Every time I needed something I looked to where I would keep it and there it was. Communication with the host, although never met, was excellent, for he responded to messages within minutes. The long-term neighbours in the house were very quiet and considerate.
Comfortable and cozy in unit #4.
Close to Fernwood Pizza and was that ever good!
Well equipped kitchen that even had a coffee grinder...nice extra.
Bathroom was very clean and had a great shower.
Had a very pleasant stay.
I can't say enough great things about this property. Neil and Heidi were always available if needed, the space is clean and cozy, stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay, not to mention the bed is lovely! I was there for a month and was sad to leave. I'll definitly be back!
After 4 months in Unit 4, we were sorry to leave. The flat - located in Fernwood, an eclectic and lively neighbourhood - is cosy, well-accessorised, and it satisfied all our urban needs. It is within walking distance from downtown Victoria and close to the Galloping Goose (for cyclists and walkers).
Our only recommendation is that the laundry room undergo a facelift. We highly recommend this property.
This was a perfect spot- Neil was always quick to answer any questions we had. Great neighborhood and close to everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
