Pierre and his family were great hosts.
I stayed here for my fall semester and the host was always responsive if I had any concerns or if there was a maintenance issue. When I had to cut my stay short for about a week at the end, Pierre was also very generous as to refund me for the last week despite not being obligated to do so.
The place looks as pictured and is a very short walk to both a grocery store and the subway station, making it very convenient. There is also a bakery near by with very cheaply priced pastries.
It did get a bit noisy at times since the hosts have young children and the ceiling doesn’t block out sound that well but it was pretty opposite my schedule so it didn’t bother me. There were also a few spider webs when I moved in but that’s to be expected with a basement - after wiping them out with Lysol wipes there were only a few spiders I noticed during the early days of my stay before they disappeared.
I had no issues with the wifi, having to work from home many times. If anyone is wondering as well - the fridge does have a freezer about the size of a wider but flatter shoe box (which turned out to fit a medium bag of frozen fruit + more). The appliances met all of my needs as I often cooked for myself - microwave, kettle, stove top with a small pot and medium pan - no toaster though. The fire alarm is pretty sensitive so beware of that - but I only had an issue with this one time.
The dishes and utensils were good basics but I did run out to get some better cooking knives, mugs, and spatulas. I also picked up a few microwave safe dishes (which I left at the air bnb) and a rice cooker.
Toilet bowl cleaner as well as a sponge and a scrubbing brush in the kitchen were also supplied along with a broom but I brought my own multi purpose cleaning spray. I also ran out to buy a pack of toilet paper, Kleenex, and extra garbage bags.
Overall, I would definitely recommend a short or long stay here.
