The capital of British Columbia, Victoria, greets around 4 million domestic and international tourists every year. The city perfectly blends the old and the modern Canadas and opens an easy transfer to other parts of the Vancouver Islands. Guests can take day trips to beach towns or surfing resorts, or travel on a ferry to Seattle. But Victoria can be a resort of its own right since the buzzing city center here changes into the gorgeous downtown next to the Pacific Ocean waterfront. The local climate is comfortable, with mild winters and pleasant, sunny summers.
With a package like that, it’s no wonder that local visitors have a demand for short-term rentals, for a holiday or business trips. We provide the means to help owners with Airbnb property management in Victoria.
