[What we loved] 1. LOCATION! This apartment is right off the lively Rue St. Jean and everything from the best brunch spots to a grocery store is within minutes. Although we had a car, one can easily walk to other tourist hotspots in Old Quebec (Citadelle, Frontenac, etc.) on a good day. Couldn't have asked for a better location!
2. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures - clean, comfortable and has a nice decor. I was really impressed by the quality appliances and home items
3. The communication was prompt and clear - the host was well prepared for our arrival, and was accommodating of our need to park early and store our luggage, which I appreciated
[What not so much] I have stayed at several AirBnBs by now and have come to expect a certain experience (for better or worse!). None of this is a reflection on the host and/or should keep you from renting the property - just good things to be aware of as you plan your trip:
1. Check-in time is 5pm - it's noted on the description but I clearly missed it. Irrespective, I do think it's really late in the day but if you're the sort who cannot be beaten down by hours of travel, just walk along Rue St. Jean while your apartment is getting ready. We head over to Bibliotheque - a really adorable library within an old church with comfy seating to bide our time.
2. Great amenities but limited consumables to go along. I wasn't sure if stuff was specifically provided for me or left over by previous guests so it would be wise to confirm what will be available to you. E.g. kitchen condiments felt like leftovers so might change with time - we purchased our own and left some behind too :) Some bath essentials were provided but not replenished (we stayed for 6 days so hard to survive without your own stuff). There's Nespresso but no pods (there's a boutique ~20m drive away if you want to buy). Again, my personal opinion but I think by providing guests little touches here and there (e.g. give me a couple of extra dishwasher pods if I request them :)), the experience can be greatly elevated at little to no extra cost! Having said that, if you plan ahead and/or head to the grocery store literally 3m away, you'll be fine!
Thank you!
