Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Quebec City. It is a beautiful city with so much history, it gives the feel of a European city. We wanted to give the pros and cons of our accommodations as absolute perfection is hard to achieve:
Pros
- the apartment was very clean, one of the first things we noticed
- situated in a quiet neighbourhood, felt very safe
- onsite parking
- comfortable beds
- clean and comfortable bedding
- 5 minute walk to groceries/SAQ
- showers very clean and had good water pressure
- host is very thoughtful - leaves instructions for the apartment, left us chocolates, left dishwasher/washing machine pods
- clean towels were provided for each guest
- entertainment area was decent, the pool table was a lot of fun, just a little tight for a pool table
- 10 minutes by taxi to the old city
Cons
- has no A/C - extremely uncomfortable for us as the humidex values were in the high 30's for our stay. We had a small fan with us which helped a bit
- main floor washroom has no exhaust fan - combined with the lack of A/C, the room turns into a steam room during a shower making it very uncomfortable to get out of the shower
- virtually no air circulation throughout the apartment
- no sink in the basement washroom
- no outdoor sitting space
- despite explicit instructions on using Apple TV, Disney+, Netflix - the Apple TV does not work, Disney+ does not work, Netflix, we had to use someone else's preloaded profile
- each room has its own unique smell
In conclusion, this was our first Air BnB experience and it was fairly decent. We may choose this location again depending on the weather, if there is a hot humid forecast we would have to choose another location. The host was very nice and thoughtful and was willing to accommodate our unique situation in order for us to stay at his property.
