Nearly every single thing you could possibly need on vacation is available in this room. And if it isn’t in the room, there are a ton of everyday conveniences within a mile or two. The room is outfitted with recommendations for dining, transit, and activities, and Gilles was quick to respond to requests for his insights (e.g., where to get smoked meat, how to best access a tourist area). Breakfast and coffee is provided, which is awesome if you get in late at night like we did.
I had a couple of struggles with the accommodations that would only be relevant for travelers of large proportions like me (probably anyone sporting a 3x or larger, let’s say). The shower is very economically sized, and I would not have been able to execute most portions of the chicken dance in it, should the need arise. The floor is also a bit creaky, which is probably not mortifying to an average sized human, but made me self-conscious. However, if you’re a big dude or lady reading this, the bed is comfortable and not noisy, and the room in general is very spacious!
There ARE little young people thundering about upstairs, but they respectably keep their thundering to the waking hours, and it’s no more than the racket you’d encounter in a hotel room.
This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was so much more welcoming and accommodating than we expected. We had a great time in Montreal and we were able to enjoy both the city stuff and the more relaxed, suburban culture because of Gilles and Haide’s hospitality.
