Julie is a very kind and gracious host who is eager to help. It was my first time driving to Montreal on my own and I didn’t know where to park and I drove around in circles trying to find a place until I realized you were able to park in the front due to me being there on a weekend. Also, there is a flight of stairs you climb from the outside to access the room.
Julie offered to let me park in her private spot on the other side of the house. I also had some issues with the shower downstairs being too hot, I arrived very late so I didn’t make a mention of it until the next day, but Julie offered us to use the one in another room in that room and that room was gorgeous.
The whole house was impeccably clean even though it is old. There wasn’t a scant of dust or dirt anywhere in the room. You can tell that the rest of her home is meticulously cleaned.
She also has a very eclectic charm when it comes to the decor. Everything is funky and nice but with charm from unique and antique furniture pieces. We were pleasantly surprised to see a gorgeous bouquet of flowers on the table downstairs when we woke up - nice touch!
She send you a list of rules after the reservation is complete, standard things like staying quiet and after 10 PM but this also includes walking quietly as well as it can be creaky walking over the floorboards and going up and down the stairs. The only rule that I didn’t like was the one that you had to wear a mask in all the common areas.
Other than that it’s a great stay and worth the money for the experience.
