Paula received us as we arrived and helped us sort out parking. She helped us become acquainted with the house and gave us permission to use the kitchen, even though this isn’t part of the offering in the airbnb. There can be other guests in the house as there are two room for rent. Paula spends most of her time on the floor above with her famous kitties that were a fun and fluffy part of our stay. She offers a simple french breakfast with delicious fresh croissants 🥐 and yummy coffee.
She cares a lot about safety and ensuring that there’s peace and quiet in the house. She cancelled other airbnb guests that had arrived because she didn’t think they aligned with this. Mask wearing is expected in the common areas. Wifi was very weak and at times non existent, which was the least convenient part of our trip. Not sure this is a place for those that are in town to party or work. No AC but two fans in room and we slept fine. There are 2 sets of spiralling stairs to climb, that are beautiful, but I don’t think accessible for those with mobility issues. The front door is a bit tricky and we’d recommend trying it with Paula before taking it on- requires a gentle and calculated touch.
We wanted a couple of days to enjoy the surrounding areas before heading to Gaspé, and it worked for us. You’re in the heart of old Quebec.
Overall a good stay.
