*HONEST REVIEW*
LOCATION: As written in the description, the apartment is located on a busy noisy street. We don't mind the business and the loud so it was great for us. However, it didn't get insanely noisy at night. There is a bar downstairs and your balcony will look over the patio, so only that area gets noisy.
If you want to be in Quebec City within walking distance to everywhere, than this is a good location. We saw the entirety of Quebec City by foot. It is A LOT of walking, so I recommend that option to those who like to walk. It will save you from parking fees everywhere you go, and uber/taxi fees.
-Old Quebec/Chateau Frontenac is a 30 min walk
-Notre-Dame is a 28 min walk
-Old Port is a 30 min walk
PARKING: I was told by Louis that the parking lot charges $12/day. That is not true. The parking lot is close by (5 min walk) but they charge $15+tax per day. Keep in mind, that if you decide to take your car out of the lot during the day, your spot is not guaranteed when you come back. It is a small lot, and is open for public parking, so it is usually full.
APARTMENT: The photos are accurate, just some minor decor changes. It says in the description that the apartment is on the 4th floor. I was not expecting a very tiny narrow steep staircase. So do keep that in mind for whoever is traveling. The staircase all the way up to the 4th floor, is extremely steep/narrow. There is a lot of steps, and it is a turning staircase. It was pretty tiring bringing our luggage all the way up and down.
The apartment was clean, however the towels provided were all stained and didn't look fresh/clean. So it just makes you think/feel that they might have not been washed. The blanket and pillow case were dusty so I was nervous that they might not have been washed. The sofa did have a lot of hair/fuzz stuck on it.
The washroom only had 1.5 toilet paper rolls. It lasted us 3 days because we only came to the apartment to sleep. We were gone during the day, but it might not be enough for some people depending on group size. There was 2 open shampoo bottles left in the shower possibly for guest use. That was it for toiletries provided.
Kitchen-fully stocked with everything you could possibly need.
Bathroom- very tiny, it is a tight squeeze.
Bedroom: Room 1 has a double bed, suitable for 2 people. Room 2 has a smaller bed, which is tight for 2 people. The photos show the 3rd bed as a sofa pullout bed, however absolutely no linens were provided for the bed. So we were not able to use the sofa bed. Which was very disappointing because one of us just slept on the dirty sofa cushions.
The apartment is not extremely spacious, photos make a property look more enlarged than it truly is. Not suitable for families with children. It says it sleeps 6, but that is pushing it. The place is comfortable for 3-4 adults.
CHECK IN- instructions were sent the morning of my arrival. Very clear and easy instructions were provided.
WIFI: good connection. Louis did mention that Netflix was included on the TV, but his amazon account was not logged in. Therefore you cannot go on netflix. So I had to sign up for my own account.
COMMUNICATION:
Louis is not good at responding through messages. But he did answer my call. On the morning of my check-in, he sent me information regarding parking, restaurants nearby, liquor store, drug store, and grocery store.
Overall it was a good stay. Best thing was the location. I would have been more satisfied if the towels and linens looked/were clean. Also linens for sofa bed were not provided.
