The good, the bad and the ugly:
1.	Summary:
a.	Good:
i.	Great location
ii.	Cute property
iii.	Relatively recently remodeled
b.	Bad:
i.	Loft upstairs is clearly a late addition with a shaky staircase.
ii.	Not very clean, few dust bunnies were seen around the condo, dust visible on black stairs.
iii.	Noisy at night, some people running around and screaming well into the night.
c.	Ugly:
i.	The host/hosting company went out of its way Not to help us when it was easy and possible for them (an explanation below).
ii.	There was a construction going on right outside the window, the host did not let us know until we were already in Quebec City, the day of checking-in.
iii.	Poor communication from the host (see below).
2.	Details:
Location was excellent, a short walking distance to many Quebec City landmarks, such as the port, the Old Quebec, Terrasse Dufferin, Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral, Lower Town, La Citadelle de Québec, Parliament etc. The property is located on one of the beautiful old town streets with shops and restaurants. The property is nicely remodeled and is in good shape. The only warning is if you’re a heavy set person or older, the spiral staircase leading up to the second floor where the bedroom and bathroom are felt flimsy, is small and may be a concern for some people.
The condo was not cleaned well before our arrival. The linens were clean, but the floors, countertops had a bit of dust. Founds few dust bunnies floating around.
We were tired after taking an early train from Montreal, but at night (around 1am) some people outside were running around and screaming their lungs out. It did not help that at 7am, we were woken up by the construction crew outside.
If the host told us about the construction before we booked this property, we would have made a different decision.
We asked the host if we could check-in early so that we don’t have to carry our luggage through the city after arriving on an early train, while exploring local landmarks. The response was that the check-in time is 4pm. We asked why an early check-in would be an issue? The host stated that there were other renters staying at the property the day of our arrival. The day prior to the arrival, the property was listed as available for rent up to our arrival date on Airbnb. Why would the host refuse to let us check-in after a 3-hour train ride to leave our luggage at the property when it was vacant, I don’t have a good answer.
We also had other issues with host communication. As of 11:30am on the day of checking-in, we had zero information about how to check-into this property. We were getting more concerned with each passing hour that we may end up on the street. Emailed the host and awaited a response. Luckily, the host responded with check-in information. Another example of incomplete/inaccurate communication is host providing us the WiFi password, but not the SSID. There were multiple SSIDs visible in the property, we had to reach out to the host again to ensure we were using the correct one. So, overall, we feel that host could have been a lot more helpful and the communication more timely and complete, including letting us know about the construction outside the side wall/windows well in advance of our arrival.
