The Japanese Standard Company is a Mom & Pop company which owns and runs 3 legal short term rental units it Victoria. Takayo does all the cleaning, furnishings etc, while Paul does all the computer and tech stuff. While we are new to this Channel, we are not new to the short term rental market. We've been with AirBnB for over a year and have over 250 five star reviews on our properties.

Free Parking! We have just finished renovating this legal, large (600 sf), condo to make it an outstanding home away from home. The unit has been stripped top to bottom and repainted with new furniture. It is as clean and as stylish as we can possibly make it. Way better than a hotel. This unit is located on the 3rd floor. It is West facing and has some very nice sun in the evenings. There is a full kitchen, large bedroom and two 4K TV's. Upon entering there is along hallway to the living room and kitchen. In this room is the queen size sofa bed and the island. Behind the smoked glass doors is the bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Along the hallway is the washer and dryer for longer stay guests.

Double-decker buses, afternoon tea, homes that look like castles, and pubs with names like the Sticky Wicket and the Penny Farthing... Victoria has long traded on its British affiliations. But while the fish-and-chips remain first class and summer cricket games still enliven Beacon Hill Park, the days when Victoria was more British than Britain are long gone. In Victoria 2.0, the food culture embraces fusion, the beer leans toward craft brews and the abundance of bicycles seems to have more in common with Holland than England. It's still one of the most British cities in North America, but there's more to Victoria than tearooms, antique shops and galleries (though there are plenty of those). Driven by the younger generation, the city has sprouted a collection of cool shops, authentic coffee bars and unique restaurants. It also has more cycling routes than any other Canadian city, providing a great way to explore the picturesque location (and avoid an afternoon of antique shopping). The Chinatown in Victoria, British Columbia is the oldest Chinatown in Canada and the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's.
