First, let me say that we were very excited for our weekend in Quebec City and were left feeling stressed out and disappointed :(
Pros
* The air bnb was very well situated for the view on the St-Lawrence River, and at walking distance to the Chateau Frontenac and old Quebec.
* The room and bathroom were very well cleaned.
Cons
*The pull-out couch was UNBEARABLE! Every bed spring was felt and pierced through your skin to your bones.
* Lack of lighting in the room, we used flashlights at times.
* 'Private bathroom' was basically situated outside of the room, down the hallway. At the time of booking, it was not yet indicated in the posting, they added it afterwards.
* Shower was difficult to operate. We had to call the host late in the evening to figure it out. Instructions should really be provided. Even the host wasn't sure how to use it and mentioned that the shower was hard to operate...
* We knew it was an old building, but the walls are literally paper thin. We heard conversations, footsteps, doors opening/closing from above and beside us. Even room #2 across us were having very loud and horrendous sex at 2 am which was very very annoying. Resulted in disturbed sleep.
* Check-in is done at a different hotel that was hard to find because it's in an alleyway where cars aren't allowed to go.
* Wrong address was given for the air bnb, we had to call to let them know that the address on the posting belongs to a souvenir gift shop and gave them the correct address as they didn't know it...
* Non-availability of room service by the hotel reception. Calling both numbers and only answered once out of 6 times over the weekend + when we asked to get extra towels and hand clothes at the reception, the receptionist seemed unwilling to go in the backroom to grab some and insisted that the housekeeper will provide. None were provided.
* When asked about parking, they only referred us to parking lots, but didn't provide us with parking meter options (which was wayyyy cheaper then the parking lots, and right in front of the air bnb) If you use the parking meters, download the app 'Copilote' so you can pay from your phone at anytime.
In the end, it was not worth our 500$ for 2 nights. More like it was worth no more than half the price.
