We spent 6 nights at Lofts Ste Anne #102 from January 17, 2019 through January 23,2019.
We had an amazing 6 night stay in mid-January. We highly recommend!
The Loft: The loft is just as pictured. It is clean, modern, and nicely appointed. Julie, our host, provided ample towels, washcloths, soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and paper towels. Julie also made sure that we had coffee pods for the Nespresso in the room. She is so thoughtful. The room has a small refrigerator, an electric stovetop, a Nespresso machine, a dishwasher (dishwashing soap is provided), and dishes. There are laundry facilities directly across the hall from the loft, free of charge. Laundry soap is provided. The queen bed is very comfy. 4 pillows were provided, as well as a super warm blanket. There is a large tv, and an electric fireplace on the wall that provides a nice atmosphere. There are 3 thermostats in this unit, including a separate one in the bathroom to ensure a cozy shower experience. Heating is not an issue. This property has an elevator, although you have to walk up a half flight to reach the elevator. As such, I would not recommend for people with mobility issues. Julie was such a wonderful host, she even offered to upgrade us to a larger loft when we arrived. We actually preferred our cozy smaller space and declined her offer. However, it was so kind of Julie. She is a wonderful host!
Location: What can I say? The loft is located in the heart of the old city, only a block walk from the Chateau Frontenac, and the funiculaire. There are many delicious dining options just steps from the front door, for all meals. The location is also convenient to some trendy restaurants outside the city walls, but just a short Uber ride away. There is a delightful coffee shop just doors down on Rue des Jardins that makes the most yummy hot chocolate and cappuccino.
Check-in: Check in was simple. Julie provided a code for the front door and another for the apartment. We had no problem accessing.
Parking: Julie secured indoor parking for us directly across from the hotel for an additional $15 a night. Well worth it! We were glad that the parking was indoor, as there was a snowstorm during our stay, and we did not have to clear snow off our car.
Communication: Julie is a wonderful host. Although she was out of town during our visit and we did not have a chance to meet face to face, Julie was in daily contact with us, ensuring that our needs were met. She suggested several delicious restaurants (be sure to reserve at Chez Boulay, Chez Jules, and Lapin Saute), and her suggestions were spot on.
Small issues: The loft is located on the first floor (one floor above street level). We did experience some street noise in the middle of the night from idling trucks and busses outside. This is unavoidable, as the loft is located at a busy intersection in the old city (this is part of what makes the location so awesome!). It was not enough to prevent us from returning...I just think people should know about potential street noise before choosing and Airbnb. Another odd thing...there are no bureaus in the apartment. There is a closet for hanging clothes, but no drawer space at all. We kept our clothing in our suitcase throughout our stay. We thought that was a bit odd.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at Lofts Ste Anne. We would definitely highly recommend this Airbnb!
