While I suspect that Marie is a perfectly nice host, the experience of having our booking cancelled two hours before check-in, while on the road with three young kids and our parents, was terrible. We spent the first part of our trip arguing over second-choice listings in a Tim Hortons, most of which were either in undesirable locations or were odd “bachelor party” lofts. If Marie had given us notice of the cancellation even the day before, we could have made very different and less stressful plans. Failing that, we would have appreciated the chance to rent elsewhere for part of our stay and return to Marie’s when the repair (?) was finished.
