Welcome to Awarehouse Loft a condo that extends across the entire front of the second floor, directly above Outlook Clothing Store in the picture.

Converted from a historic brick warehouse the condo boasts red brick side walls with historic wood and sash windows. Awarehouse loft at 811 square feet was carved from a unique warehouse space with a separate ground level bedroom and is more spacious than the majority of lofts/condos in the historic downtown area.

The space

Located on the second floor, accessed by elevator or stairs, the condo has floor to ceiling windows and a14 feet high ceiling which create a lovely ambience. There is an ever changing view of the lively street activities below. The south exposure floods the loft with light, but also lets in street noise from people accessing restaurants, pubs, nightclubs as well as occasionally from construction as heritage buildings are renovated. This is a downtown neighbourhood, high walkability, in the heart of Victoria’s most frequented tourist sites.

Here’s what you’ll get:
- A roomy bright open space making cooking and entertaining a pleasure.
- Well furnished kitchen, fully equipped with a dishwasher, stove/oven, microwave, coffee grinder, coffee makers, blender, food processor, toaster and many of the comforts of home.
- Staples for cleaning, cooking, salt, pepper, multiple spices, coffee, tea, sugar and more.
- The dining area comfortably seats four. Two can perch at the bar counter.
- Four leather lounge/reclining chairs, two swivel
- 55' Ultra High-Definition TV with Personal Video Recorder. High-speed WIFI is included in the rental
- Possibly the only loft in the Leiser Building with a king-sized bed in an enclosed ground level bedroom next to the bathroom
- A coat closet and large wardrobe in the bedroom.
- A washer and dryer with laundry soap, iron & ironing board.
- A bathtub/shower and heated towel rack.
- Rental price is all inclusive, high-speed internet access, high-definition television with HD cable connections, all electricity and heating charges, sheets, towels, liquid soaps
- A shared rooftop patio with seating and tables offering terrific sunsets & waterfront views of Victoria’s skyline
- Marvellous location, very walkable to the waterfront, whale tours, Victoria’s busy inner harbour, Royal BC Museum. Parliament Buildings, old town architecture, funky & fancy restaurants, nightclubs & shops, sightseeing, and close to pick up locations for a trip to The Butchart Gardens

Victoria is a charming city with lots of activities, great places to explore, fabulous dining and great restaurants. Awarehouse Loft is a non-smoking space for couples, singles, and snowbirds who enjoy a comfortable self-catering holiday. We are sorry but no pets are permitted. Whether you are in town for one month or more, there is always lots to see and do in our lovely Provincial Capital. Most tourist sites & groceries are an easy walk from the condo making a car unnecessary.

Guest access

Rooftop patio is a shared space with seating and tables offering terrific views of Victoria.

Other things to note

Awarehouse Loft is in the heart of downtown Victoria, a car is not necessary to enjoy the city. Virtually all tourist sites are easy walking from Awarehouse Loft.

THERE IS NO PARKING SPACE AT THE CONDO, if a car is needed frequently during your stay you probably need to rent a parking space. If you come without a car then there are car sharing options available with vehicles in the parking structure across the street from the condo. If this is of interest I can help you set up a membership with either of these two companies.

Doug and Jackie were the best host possible. The unit was very clean and well equipped with all a couple needs for a vacation. It is a very central location to all that Victoria Downtown has to offer. My parents had a wonderful time.

The apartment is very spacious and tastefully decorated; everything I would need is available, down to garbage bags and a full kitchen supply. The apartment is within a few minutes walk to the wharf and government street and is so convenient. The hosts are lovely and made my stay a smooth sailing. Would definitely recommend and stay again myself!

When we were looking to rent a place in Victoria we loved the look of the Awarehouse loft. Historic building but modern inside. It turned out to be more than we expected. This place is very charming and super clean. We liked the fact that the building is very secure with a locked gate and another lock to get to the elevator. There is also the rooftop to relax and watch the sun set. Our hosts Doug and Jacqui greeted us when we arrived and explained everything we needed to know. If we wanted to know more, Doug prepared an informative manual about the loft stuff, restaurants, coffee shops, public transit and more. We found the appliances good, great small appliances, many coffee makers, food processor, an amazing toaster, and more ... There are many pots and pans, bowls, many dishes, cups, glasses, good knives and everything you may need. For our use there was a spice rack with different spices, coffee, teas, and more. We didn't even have to bring soap, shampoo or toilet paper. The bed was comfortable, good size bathroom with a towel warmer and washer and dryer. In the living room there are comfortable recliners, a big TV, a nice dining table, and two stools to sit by the counter. There are books, magazines and playing cards. For us it was very interesting to sit by the window and watch the people walk by. The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk to the Inner Harbour, the museum, Parliament Building, China Town and the best restaurants, cafes and shopping. We went for a walk to a different location every day and our favorite was to cross the bridge and walk on the path to the left. There is noise from the street on weekends but it didn't bother us, we just closed the bedroom window and didn't hear it. To sum it up, we loved our five weeks at the loft, we would like to return, and recommend it to our friends and family.

This is a clean, well equipped, well maintained property in an excellent location (especially for those without a vehicle) and the owners are very responsive. Ours was a long stay and we had absolutely everything we needed to be comfortable. The area is downtown with easy access to shops, restaurants and coffee shops. We had a wonderful vacation.
