About this house rental
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. 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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

What fantastic accommodation. The unit is clean and has everything you need. Located in a nice quiet residential area. Close by transportation , restaurants and stores.
Rita the owner is amazing, she makes you feel so welcome and makes sure you have everything you need.She also has lots of information on sightseeing and local restaurants.
This is a great place to stay, as you can take the bus all around the Victoria area using a $5 day bus pass.

The pros were it`s location and price, and a good quality bed. It`s cons were that there was no patio or outdoor relaxing space (as shown on pictures, but rather two metal chairs on a driveway next to a parked car), no fresh flowers on arrival (as promised), frequently no place for parking (owner takes driveway and street parking is very full), a dirty smelly fridge full of items left by others (including expired dairy), no laundry facility, 2 old towels per person for 2 weeks, and a hazardous beam at 5 ft 8 in the middle of the kitchen/living room area that could cause a serious head injury.

This place has a very HARD BED! I had to sleep on the cushions from the couch for 3 nights!!! Also don't like that you are in a basement. Very dark.

Loved Victoria and this cozy bungalow. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful place to stay
Thank you Rita for all the comforts of the lovely stay at your very comfy abode, We had everything we couldp have wanted and more. No need for a car with the excellent public transit system at our disposal just 5 mins walk round the corner taking us downtown in 10 mins and much further if wanted to other interesting places throughout Vancouver Island.

Great Cozy and Quiet Basement Suite
My wife and I were in Victoria for me to race a triathlon and visit the city. We wanted a quiet place because I wanted to get a good nights' sleep and had to get up really early for the race on Sunday. This unit is very quiet, cozy, and private.
It's a full suite, way more room than any normal hotel room and has a full kitchen and living room area. Furnishings aren't luxury or anything but nicely kept up and clean. We loved it.
The only thing to keep in mind is the low ceiling. I'm 6'4" (192cm) and my hair was brushing the ceiling. If you're any taller than me you won't be able to stand straight up. For most "normal" sized people , as my wife would say, it's no problem.
The owner was super accommodating let us check in early because our ferry was in the morning, and let us come back in the afternoon on checkout day so I could have a shower after my race before leaving town.
Lovely, stay.

Rita is a very accommodating host and takes great pride in her home. The unit was very clean and had everything one would need for an away trip. The bed was comfortable and the unit is very quiet. Thank you Rita!

Enjoyed the space, vey clean and well equipped. The washroom is a bit of a challenge for large peopl
the area is quiet and there is easy access to all the places we wanted to go. Parking was good. could use an extra sensor light going up the drive way. All in all we liked the place. Would stay again.

Comfortable and easy stay
Casa Grosvenor is a lovely place to stay when travelling to and around Victoria. It is a generous and comfortable one bedroom suite; the kitchen is well equipped; and it is centrally located with easy access to the major routes. It is a mature house in an older part of town; and so some local tolerances are in order: don't be too tall and drive a smaller car. In sum, Casa Grosvenor is easy to enjoy.

Comfortable abode
Rita has made this a very comfortable place to stay. It has everything that you'd need, including a little patio area. It's cosy. Loved the bright colours and paintings- perfect for a basement suite.

Charming with all of the amenities to make our stay stress free. Centrally located - perfect!
Rita is awesome! Very genuine, thoughtful and considerate. She wanted to be sure we had everything we needed to enjoy and take in all of Victoria; right down to sharing her favourite places to eat out. Overall so terrific!! We visit Victoria frequently and would highly recommend this location for others.

Beautiful suite❤️
Thank you, Rita, for this lovely space. I visited my twin for our birthday and each day my nieces picked me up and we either walked or caught the very convenient BC Transit bus to get out and about in Victoria! We hiked at Lake Thetis and it was breathtaking. Each night I was able to relax in your beautiful suite. Rita is a very hospitable owner. It is perfect for one person and probably a couple too. The shower is a bit snug but not uncomfortable at all. I would definitely stay here again for my next visit.

Comfortable, gracious host but short ceilings
Rita is a good host who tries to make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed everything about our stay except for the ceiling height, since we are 6'4" and 6'2". At 6'4" my head was just touching the ceiling with my shoes off ... so you will enjoy this property if you are not over 6' in height, but if you are very tall it may not be suitable for you. Great location, central to everything. Enjoyed having the Netflix available too!
