My six month stay in the City Skyline Suite at the Corazon earlier this year exceeded all my expectations. In addition to being perfectly located, the apartment is superbly furnished with a great view of the surrounding landscape. Steve and Trish added that special dimension to guarantee an experience that I will always treasure.

It really was an absolute pleasure staying in the Skyline Suite, the apartment is beautiful with fantastic views, and Steve and Trish could not have been more welcoming or helpful. I don't think they missed even the smallest detail ensuring the suite is a real home from home!It's a great location for walking around Victoria, and with the underground parking we were able to have a car and drive off around the island. I wish we could have stayed for more than a week but hopefully we'll be back! Thanks!

What a beautiful condo. The Urban Suite is very well decorated. It was a perfect location close to the harbour, shopping and restaurant. A special thank-you for the special attention provided. This is a first class stay. A little home away from home. I highly recommend this to everyone either as a business stay of vacation.
Merci

The Urban Suite apartment was in excellent condition and had all the conveniences to make our stay in Victoria wonderful. The location is excellent, within walking distance of all attractions. The owners Trish and Steve were warm and friendly and provided us with fine details at our arrival such as fresh fruit, coffee, milk and bread for morning breakfast. We highly recommend this small apartment for your visit to Victoria.

The Urban Suite apartment was spanking new, well laid out, well appointed and had all conveniences. The location excellent,within walking distance of all attractions. There were lovely, thoughtful touches, provided by Trish and Steve such as fresh fruit, coffee and bread for morning toast and yogurt. Steve and Trish were always available and gracious when we had any questions about Victoria or surrounding environs. I highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Victoria.

Thanks Trish and Steve for being great hosts during our month's stay at the City Skyline Suite. We appreciated your warm welcome and personal interest in providing the perfect "home away from home". The apartment's location, modern stylish furnishings and amenities, together with magnificent views of the city and harbour, created the ideal holiday for us in Victoria.

The Urban Suite is an absolutely superb apartment, comfortable and convenient for the harbour and downtown. We came here after being at the Empress and preferred this place. Many Thanks to Steve for his wonderful welcome and great hospitality. The only downside is, WE WILL BE Back!! Best Regards, Bob and Jean Adamson.

What a wonderful month's stay in the Metro Suite. Vacation rental pictures online rarely match reality but the Metro exceeded our expectations. It sparkles, bright, clean, nicely furnished with so many personal details to make the stay enjoyable. We so appreciated having juice, coffee milk and bread already in the fridge so we didn't have to shop as soon as we arrived. Our guests really appreciated a sofa bed mattress that is actually comfortable to sleep on. The location is superb - within easy walking distance of the inner harbor, shopping, restaurants, markets, etc. The added bonus is the superb hospitality of our hosts Trish and Steve. They are the kind of hosts you always hope to find - warm, helpful, caring, honest. See you next year!

We would like to highly recommend the Metro suite in the Astoria in DT Victoria. This condo has location, style, security and all the conveniences of home. Our hosts, Steve and Trish are wonderful people and communicate extremely well. The accommodations totally enhanced our two week stay on the island. Thanks again!

Trish and Steve, you were the perfect hosts. Your Metro Suite condo is everything one could wish for. We are old hands at visiting Victoria - but we can say truthfully that you made it one of the very best ever. Our thanks to you.

"The Metro Suite has to be one of the cleanest most well equiped units we've ever stayed in. Very close to the harbour, quiet and close to many attractions. We made many walking tours to Beacon Hill Park and enjoyed the wild life immensely.
Thanks so much Steve and Trish. We are planning for next year already.

We really enjoyed our stay in BC, especially because the condo was so perfect! It is modern, clean, centrally located to everything including transportation and our hosts Trish & Steve were so helpful! We would highly recommend City Life Suites to everyone! We hope to visit again one day. Thanks for making it a home away from home and adding so many extra touches!

We have just completed a three-week stay in this suite which is very well equipped and furnished and the location in downtown Victoria could not be better. Lots of good restaurants and shopping within short walking distances. The high-speed internet is fast and reliable. The building is quiet and we encountered no noise in the hallways. There were no negative surprises. In fact, we had a wonderful, positive experience.Steve and Trish are very attentive, helpful owner/landlords.

The quality of the Metro Suite apartment was excellent, very well equiped and furnished to a high standard. Trish and Steve achieve a 'home from home' environment and their personal attention to detail and information as well as their natuaral hospitality made our stay in Victoria the more enjoyable.

What a great place. The Metro Suite was perfect for a week's stay with my family of four.
The central location means you do not need a car; and being in modern, fully furnished apartment (as opposed to a cramped hotel room) adds up to a very relaxing trip. Thanks Steve & Trish!

Many thanks to Trish and Steve for their friendly and helpful hospitality. This apartment is beautiful! 5 Stars. You have not missed a single detail - from the well equipped kitchen to the extensive book of information on everything from the condo complex, security system to all the tips on where to eat, attractions to see and the personal touches in the bathroom.
You won't find a better location in Victoria - walking distance to all the main sightseeing highlights of beautiful Victoria and the inner harbour.We will visit again for sure. I recommend this beautiful condo to anyone visiting Victoria. Thanks and see you again.

Thanks Steve and Trish for a wonderful stay!!! My only complaint; I wish I had found you online sooner :) The beautiful suite had everything that I needed and more, with a warm welcome and goodbye from both of you and lots of little thoughtful touches in between. I know that I will be travelling to the city again for business and for pleasure - I will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Victoria. This apartment was like home to us and Steve and Trish were very welcoming and helpful. The location is fantastic and you can easily walk everywhere to see the sights during the day and to all the local restaurants and bars in the evening, if you don't want to cook in the beautiful well equipped kitchen. I would recommend this apartment to all visitors to Victoria either on holiday or business. try it and see for yourself. We were very impressed and would definately go back there next time we visit.Thanks again Steve & Trish,

We really enjoyed our stay in the Young's condo while in Victoria celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The condo was very nicely furnished and the hospitality extended to us by Steve and Trish was second to none. They pay attention to every detail and we are thankful we chose CitySuites over hotels in the area.

Steve & Trish were great hosts, which included kindly providing a few groceries for our late arrival. The apartment was well located downtown, was in excellent condition and was very clean. The apartment was modernly furnished with stainless steel appliances and unique furnishings. The building was extremely secure with an advanced security system. The free long distance calls were a nice inclusion.
Try the coffee shop that is in the building (Cafe Mela.) It was very good.
Steve and Trish made our stay very enjoyable and we highly recommend this property to other customers

To Trish and Steve our thanks for for you hospitality and kindness. The appartment was perfect for our needs and I would recomend it for anyone who is attending a conference in Victoria. As for Victoria itself the iconic attractions are everyting they are touted to e but there is a depth and beadth to Victoria that is worth discovering. The Maritime Museum, Mungo Martine House, The BC Museum and Beacon Hill park were the second level "finds" that made Victoria a first class conference and holiday. We happen to think the appartment, Trish and Steve were also standouts in their own way of our time in Victoria. Would like to do it all again one day.

The apartment was absolutely ideal for our needs! It was extremely smart, well decorated and in a very convenient location. Steve and Trish made us extremely welcome and the attention to detail on what was provided was second to none. Many thanks to both of them for their efficiency but above all for their hospitality. We are happy to recommend this accommodation.

A huge part of our fantastic vacation in Victoria was Steve and Trish's condo. Besides the fantastic location, the condo was comfortable and we weren't missing anything. Thanks for your great hospitality!

I have stayed at both City Life Suites now on two occasions for business travel. The suites are by far my favourite place to be while visiting Victoria. What could be better than coming home from a day of work than having all the comforts of home. I've hosted guests for dinner in the cozy living room, enjoyed morning breakfasts on the patio, and made tea in the kitchen late at night. Everything you need is there - I woke up one morning to rain (and no raincoat) and found umbrellas in the closet! You just can't get that level of comfort - or the incredible hospitality and support that Trish and Steve offer - from a hotel. I highly recommend these suites for business travellers - will make your stay feel like a vacation!
Carol Maas, Kitchener, Ontario

We had an excellent experience staying at the Urban Suite. It provides a far superior alternative to a generic hotel room. Our exceptional hosts, Trish and Steve keep an immaculate place and their thoughtfulness is evident in the smallest details such as the umbrellas for inclement weather, the chocolates on the pillow, the cherries from their very own tree! For short or long term stays - the suite has it all. The location is excellent, just 5 mins from Government Street and the Empress Hotel. Beacon Hill Park is also a pleasant stroll away. I have no hesitation in recommending the Urban Suite to any and all discerning travellers.

We found Steve and Trish to be absolutely wonderful hosts. Their apartment was nicely furnished, clean and had all the amenities you would need. The location is just perfect for touring Victoria as it is only 2 blocks from the harbour, B.C. Legislature buildings and the Royal Museum. We would immediately recommend this suite to anyone considering it.

We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful luxury apartment.Clean, modern and met all of our needs.
Close to all ammenities.... the Inner Harbour, Convention Centre, shops and great dining places. A little noisy with the bus traffic and inner city traffic. However, enjoyed whale watching, and smelling the beautiful flowers. A must do again experience.

Trish and Steve are the ultimate hosts! They have thought of every little detail a guest may require away from home.
The suite was most comfortable and enjoyable and it exceeded my expectatiions. The location is also superb as it is within walking distance of the center of town with all the shops and restaurants and entertainment. Steve and Trish went out of their way to make my stay not only totally comfortable but successful and productive as I was there on a business mission.
Highly recommended facility!

We have just returned from a wonderful week in Victoria at the very best located accommodation ever!!! Quiet, beautifully decorated, well equipped and very affordable, within walking distance of all the touristy stuff, lots of restaurants, and great shopping. We will definitely stay here again but for a much longer visit. Many thanks to Trish & Steve for their warm welcome, breakfast supplies, and luggage help. We have new friends now in Victoria!!!

Our stay in your lovely apartment was wonderful. The apartment is very clean, well decorated and contains all amenities we could think of. We felt home as soon as we entered into the apartment. Its location is ideal since it is walking distance to most points of interest of downtown Victoria. But what made our stay so distinctive is the two of you. You are wonderful. Your friendship, hospitality and kindness make all the difference. We rented houses and apartments all over the world and this is the first time we were so kindly welcome. We thank you very much for your warm hospitality and we hope to see you again soon. We definitely recommend your apartment to anyone who is planning a trip to Victoria.

“Our hosts were wonderful (they even provided basic "fixin's" for breakfast). Added benefits were free calls (even to the US) and the fact that many buses (we used all local transportation) stop just outside the door of the complex.”
Ev & Gerry Brandby, Near Nashville, Tennessee

“We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Victoria condo. It is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The layout was extremely comfortable for the two of us, and the unit is impeccably furnished. The location was ideal--a 5-minute walk from the harbour. The best part was the hosts' enthusiastic welcome upon our arrival and their interest in seeing that we had everything we needed. Their suggestions for places to visit and things to do were perfect. We rent vacation homes and condos throughout North America, probably 4-5 each year, and this is one of the very best. You'll love it.”

We really enjoyed staying here. We especially appreciated the extra, thoughtful touches. The offer to pick us up at the bus depot, the information tailored to our family and the provision of extra things to make our stay more comfortable. The kids especially enjoyed the book of bed time stories.

What a great place. We were just 3 blocks from the inner harbor. We never
needed our car to negotiate downtown Victoria. The apartment is truly fully
furnished and we will stay there again when we get back to Victoria.

“We are so glad we chose this suite! This apartment is so clean and organized. Also I really liked your service, ex. snacks for arrival and easy to contact you. It was very nice to have fruits when we arrive, and wherever I have a problem, I can always phone and reach you. That was very helpful. Again, I'm very glad to stay here and meet you. If I come back to Victoria again I will stay here again. Thank you very much!!”

“The apartment is so convenient to everything, attractions, shopping, restaurants, the beautiful inner harbour, Beacon Hill Park and the B.C. Museum....we just loved it. Everything we needed was provided and the apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The owners were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and helped us with information about places to go and things to do in Victoria. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for one of the most enjoyable stays we've ever had, anywhere!”

“Having stayed at this tranquil retreat while on our honeymoon, we can easily attest to this lovely condo's ability to relax even the most uptight folk. Arriving in Vic straight from the wedding, our jaws dropped at both the crisp & clean modern decor and the owner's vast attention to detail. Scented soaps, a coffee grinder, flat screen TV's, a rice cooker, lush towels, bamboo floors and even candles to help jumpstart our romantic seafood dinners on the patio. We were also thrilled to find such an accommodating condo that was close enough to the inner harbour in case we wanted to hit the tourist attractions and yet still secluded enough to slip away from the crowds. Close to great parks, Market square, the organic grocery on Yates, movie theaters, the Strathcona, and Pescatores. We simply cannot say enough --- five stars! We'll be back for another sleek getaway soon!”
Kristopher & Kirsten Coe, Denver, Colorado

“It was a pleasure to stay here. Having just moved here from Toronto, this was a perfect introduction to downtown living in Victoria before moving into my new home. The location was perfect. Everything is within walking distance! The suite is beautiful, very comfortable, safe and clean. Loved the full kitchen and to be within walking distance of one of Victoria’s famous organic food markets (Market on Yates) was a real treat! It was also lovely to walk downtown within minutes to take part in the tourist activities. I must thank you so very much for the great service you provided. I really enjoyed my stay!
Thank you again.”
Joanne MacPhail, Toronto, Ontario
Thanks to all our wonderful guests, we really appreciate your comments about our vacation rentals in Victoria B.C. and we hope you'll come back to stay with us again soon.
