The location and the neighborhood are great. Very near from Sherbrooke Metro. The room and the bed are also great. Wifi fine. But I’ll leave the next notes you should consider, before deciding staying here. Caroline the host, is very tricky, nervous, and rude.
My husband and I, came to spend 5 days on vacation.
AIR CONDITIONER: The room do not have air conditioner, just a fan that is in the pictures, but the room is warm. Maybe ok for the winter. But not ok for a hot summer, if you really mind about the air conditioner.
KITCHEN: The kitchen is real small, and she spends a lot of time in there. So maybe if you come at night, and want to enjoy a dinner done by yourself, or a glass of wine, beer, or just rest outside the room, that’s impossible. She is always sniffing around and there is no privacy. The space where the table is, it’s not cozy and not nice. The kitchen floor is not clean. It seems to be clean, but with a lot of sticky stains. She never put the dishes away. There is no space if you wash what you use.
WASHER MACHINE: We stayed for 5 days, and we wanted to wash our clothing, but she told us first, that the washer machine was just for people that stay for a week or longer. Then she told us there was the possibility to wash, but the machine was not working well, (an invented story …anyway, with her attitude, we didn’t insist).
SHAMPOO: We thought there was going to be a decent brand shampoo. But there was not. There was a leftie of Head and Shoulders bottle, we used once because it was over and a baby shampoo!!! These items, obviously are the lefties that other guests may leave, and that really make me feel miserable when we pay for a service that it’s offered. The cabin bath needs also a good and deep cleaning.
HER RULES: No noise after 11.00pm. She is having supper very late, cooking and washing the dishes at 12:00am and more, annoying with the dish noise.
She was very rude in our last night, (yesterday) when my husband and I were resting (10:30pm) while she knocked the door, because there was a cigarette smell? (We don’t’ even smoke!!!) She is a paranoid woman making you feel, really uncomfortable, checking most of the time, what we are up to.
She is fixing the room where she sleeps, so she doesn’t have a door. We were respectful not making noise neither very early or very late. We took our garbage out. A real uncomfortable staying.
LUGGAGE CARE AFTER CHEKING OUT: Since we reserved, a month anticipated our arrival, I asked her if she could take care of our luggage after check out, because our plane depart very late at night. She says yes. But that was a lie. I don’t want to make the big hole story, but she changes everything to her convenience. Please consider these things, before you decide where to stay, asking every host this details that can change everything, and make your holidays happy or miserable, as we did with her.
My husband and I, are responsible, very clean people, and adults. Not kids, and left the room as we found it, but we’ve never gone through these before. It’s the worst airb&b experience we’ve had. Staying with someone that really is inflexible and not prepared to be a host.
