Private & Cozy Home Away From Home

Ground floor suite in my beloved, peaceful home on a quiet street very close to everything! Fully self-contained, 1 bedroom; private entrance & as much of home as I could pour into it

Please email w/any questions regarding dates. Open to monthly rentals as well to a max of 60 days (or longer upon discussion). It's a great, quiet, safe neighbourhood, with a 9-hole golf course only a few minutes walk away, along with a recreation centre, plus a 5km walking chip trail around the course. Hillside Shopping Centre is only a few minutes away. The #4 city bus offers transport to downtown within 15 minutes ($2.50 for adults), and the stop is right around the corner. It's convenient to downtown, the University of Victoria, Royal Jubilee Hospital and Camosun College (Lansdowne Campus). Safe, street parking is available.

Warm, inviting, welcoming & charming. I hope you'll love it as much as I do. I hope you find it is a nurturing place for your stay.

*Just slightly higher than 6'1" ceilings. A few spots anyone taller will have to duck and one structural beam between the living room and kitchen that is sure to smart if you hit your head on it.

Comfortable with great location
Small but comfortable living room and bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom was small but adequate. Location was great and Rita was helpful and friendly. Parking on the street was good 95% of the time but can park in the driveway the other times. Clean quiet and economical. Two month stay was very nice. We really enjoyed doing many things in Victoria and we would stay here again next time we’re back on the island.

Excellent location
We very much enjoyed our time at Casa Grosvenor. Rita’s place was cozy and comfortable and it was easy to get anywhere from her place. Rita was extremely helpful and accommodating and very knowledgeable about things to do in Victoria and surrounding areas. She was so easy to communicate with and always answered any questions we had promptly. I will definitely refer any friends or family members to Rita’s place.

The accommodations met our expectation
Cozy, Quiet, Comfortable & Convenient......... Rita adds her own friendly and personal touch to make a stay here enjoyable. This location is central to transit and a large shopping mall. Though the bath is a bit small, it meets the need and the bed is VERY comfortable. The fact that Netflix is provided is an added bonus.

Great place to stay in Victoria
My daughter and I stayed four comfortable nights and look forward to visiting again. Rita was super nice and fun to meet. Victoria is such a great place to visit and Rita has provided the perfect place for us to stay when we visit. My daughter is 5’11” and was comfortable with the ceiling height, but said she wouldn’t want to be any taller.

Good and quiet location, great value for money
My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much: Good wifi, great shower water pressure, quiet street. Rita was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in an late check-out. Ceiling is low indeed, with a beam at 1.75 m, but unlike a few previous reviews I did not find it to be big issue (I'm 1.78 m). Good access to bus (#4), or one could even walk to downtown. Great value!
