Bright Open-Concept Sanctuary at The Era

Property Overview

Experience the pulse of downtown Victoria from a sophisticated, elevated sanctuary at 728 Yates Street, Victoria. Situated in the highly acclaimed Era building, City Center is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom executive residence across an 800-square-foot floor plan. Offering an open-concept layout and panoramic mountain and city views from nearly every window, this residence serves as a prime base for long-term stays, remote professionals, and corporate relocations.

The sun-drenched living space features warm wood-look flooring, a cozy leather sofa, a dedicated dining area for four, and floor-to-ceiling corner windows. Step through the glass door onto your private balcony to sip morning coffee while taking in urban and mountain views. The chef-inspired kitchen boasts sleek flat-panel cabinetry, durable quartz countertops, an island with breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher, microwave, and built-in oven), and a full stock of cookware, dishes, and small appliances like a blender and coffee maker.

Designed for complete comfort and privacy, the home features two primary suites equipped with Queen-sized beds, soft linens, dark wood furnishings, and generous closet space. Two full, pristine bathrooms showcase modern tile work, sleek vanity fixtures, and a deep tub and shower combo. In-suite stacked washer and dryer units, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart streaming TV, and year-round climate control make extended stays effortless. Outside your front door, long-term residents gain access to The Era’s exclusive common amenities, including an expansive outdoor courtyard with gas fire pits, an open-air terrace with BBQ lounge seating, and a stylish indoor social room. Situated right in downtown Victoria, you are steps from independent boutiques, vibrant dining, and a short stroll from the historic Inner Harbour, the Parliament Buildings, and Beacon Hill Park.

Excellent location and very well appointed. Loved the small terrace. Enjoyed being able to walk to great coffee and breakfast shops. So many good eating establishments within easy walking distance. We had planned outings for each day and were always able to walk to meeting place - Buchart Gsrdens, whale watching, food tour and high tea. Highly recommend.

Great Central Location

We loved the location of this unit! Easy walking to shopping, food, and the harbor. We felt safe walking to and from (it is a secured building), although occasionally we would encounter a "local" sleeping by the outside doors. The unit itself was small...the queen sized beds filled the bedrooms, but it was very comfortable! There were two couples, and we stayed for 3 days, and this was more than adequate. The beds were comfortable, and the large windows made the unit seem spacious! Very, very cute!!

Fine place to stay in a very walkable

Unit was well located in a newer building for a visit in a wonderfully walkable Victoria. The unit was more than adequate in most respects. The bedrooms were small and tended to be over furnished but the beds were comfortable. Comfortable seating was definitely lacking. Other than dinette or balcony chairs, the only seating was the couch part of a sofa bed. Replacing the sofa bed with two comfortable chairs is highly recommended. It was warm during our stay and we needed the windows open. The result was significant city noise in our fifth floor unit. Overall, a pleasant stay

A great stay, but unhappy with $155 cleaning fee plus chore list

This is a great quiet little condo, in walking distance shopping, waterfront, etc. Overall clean unit, but the clothes washer has mold on the rubber gasket. It needs attention. The chores list included taking out garbage, recycling, and compost and starting a load of laundry on departure in addition to things I would normally expect (cleaning coffee maker filter and starting dishwasher--thats pretty standard stuff at other units I have stayed at). I would have appreciated being offered a discounted cleaning fee if you are expecting me to add laundry and garbage removal.

Not exactly as presented

CheckedInnVictoria changed actual unit a few months before visit. New apt photos presented 2bedrooms. 2nd was really a den with permanently deployed murphy bed not a real bed. Small storage closet inaccessible as a result. There were holes in the bedding and some dishcloths. Location was excellent and it was well equipped for food prep.

Victoria in May

Property is great - very centrally located to everything - easy to walk anywhere. Property is exactly as described - manager met us for check-in - we had regular communication leading up to unit being available (we had asked for early check-in) so that was great. Kitchen fully equipped; beds very comfortable. Would suggest trying to add one extra chair in the sitting area so everyone (if more than 2 people) aren't all on the sofa. It would take some rejigging but think that would be valuable if you have more people in the condo. Otherwise, don't hesitate to book. You'll be very happy!

The only suggestion would be to replace/upgrade the master bed with a better mattress and take away the footboard to allow more room around the bed. Also an additional lounge chair of some sort would be a bonus. Other than that everything about the unit and management excellent.

The unit and the whole building is extremely clean and well maintained. Well stocked unit. Beds are very comfortable. Even though we are right downtown the unit itself is very quiet. Speaking of downtown the unit is in a perfect location to all amenities. Deirdre, our welcoming guide, was very accommodating. She checked in with us on a regular basis and even asked if all was well during the Covid-19 quarantine. We could not ask for a better receptionist. Thank you. Even though we had to return home early due to the virus issues we left with positive memories of our experience. We would not hesitate to return.
