This unique, top-floor studio penthouse in the heart of Old Town in downtown Victoria is an urban traveller's dream. Cook breakfast in a cozy kitchen and dine at a bistro table on the balcony while planning the day. Walk out the door onto historic wood cobblestone and you're literally steps away from the Lower Johnson shopping district. Business License #00039632 Welcome to the studio penthouse at the Morley Soda Factory, a three-story, nine-unit heritage building that was completely renovated and restored in 2008. Originally constructed in 1884, the building has been a flagship of the downtown core for 130 years – and now you can stay here and experience all the amazing things downtown Victoria has to offer. Being on the top floor, the space has lots of natural light, keeping the apartment bright and warm. It's the perfect place to make your home base while exploring and you can easily duck back inside at any point during your day for a quick nap, or a snack, or just to take a break to relax with a great cup of local coffee on the terrace. The carefully designed studio – which was completed in late-2009 – has all the amenities you could want for a short or long-term rental: • Three-piece bathroom with fresh towels, shower/tub and all the fixings • Planted terrace with bistro set overlooking the famous wooden cobblestones of Waddington Alley and onto Johnson Street • Hair dryer and iron • A wall-mounted flat screen TV, complete with Apple TV box + Netflix + Crave TV • A Queen-sized bed, with fresh linens, individual hanging lamps and big pillows • A complete kitchen loaded with all the dinnerware, cookware and glasses you could ever need; as well as a fridge, freezer, oven, stovetop and a row of kitchen bar seats for socializing while you cook • An elevator to help you lug those bags up to the top floor! Other Features: • The building has a very private rear courtyard garden for relaxing, if you so choose • The most secure and inexpensive covered parking lot in town is less than 50 meters away • The historic and iconic Johnson Street Bridge can be seen from the terrace and is literally across the street – so you can take casual walks over the harbour to get a full view of the city • All of Victoria's best restaurants and bars are within walking distance • Easy access to taxis for excursions that go a little further • There are three great brew pubs within walking distance, two less than five minutes away I was born and raised in Victoria and have lived and travelled abroad so I am well-versed in the different desires of travelers. I would be happy to sit down with you to discuss what you might be interested in doing and can offer local knowledge, insider tips and answer any questions you might have. Or happily leave you to your own devices and let you explore Victoria from this amazing home base on your own. Set in a historic brick building along a cobblestone street in vibrant Old Town, the apartment is steps away from Lower Johnson Street’s acclaimed stretch of boutique shops. Amazing restaurants, warm brewpubs, and trendy cafes are a stroll away. The studio is centrally located in the heart of downtown and the Old Towne district. Bring your bike! Park your car and walk, or easily grab a cab or bus from right out front. Waddington Alley stretches between Yates Street and Johnson Street, two one-way streets going opposite directions that will bring you to the most amazing shops, restaurants, historic buildings and other community locations in Victoria. See You Soon! I love this little spot and look forward to providing a unique experience and comfy nest for your Victoria adventure.
