This airbnb truly is in a niche area with wonderful places to eat and shop (like Buvette just around the corner!), and not too far from even more places to tour. Being less than a half hour walk to the Forks, we were able to walk home from the Human Rights Museum which is a must see if you're in this area and there were lots of beautiful statues and parks along the way. Inside the unit there is a comfortable (but creaky) bed with a large bathroom that has a big shower. Downstairs, the kitchen has beautiful wood counter top against the wall and on the peninsula. All dishes and amenities needed for eating and cooking during your stay are available as well as a washer/dryer in the same room. The "net" railing in the upstairs was a wonderful addition serving as a place to hang-up and steam-iron our clothes for the trip.
The unit was very dusty. balls of dust were found on the floor, and the night stand needed to be wiped down among other places.
The unit was quite noisy at night. I myself had been up some nights until 12:30am while listening to footsteps, objects hitting the floor, toilets flushing, sinks running, people talking, a pets nails dragging on the floor, people leaving their units was especially noisy with the opening and closing of doors. Not a place for light sleepers.
The host asked us to take garbage outside to the garbage bins, remove sheets from the bed to load them in the washer/dryer, and to make sure all dishes were washed before leaving. My partner and I were happy to wash dishes (with the dishwasher) and to take out garbage but certainly all 3 of those requests could be described as part of the $50 cleaning fee.
There were issues with the heat in the unit and the temperature outside was around-5°C to -10°C. The listing stated "heating" but upon arrival there was 1 space heater and the basement with the kitchen was very cold. They claimed the space heater was for "additional control and heat if needed" after our refund request was submitted. The host was notified of the issue after the 3rd night, they attempted to fix it that day then they brought the space heater downstairs. The upstairs began getting cold so we notified them and we returned the space heater upstairs. They said there was an HVAC crew coming in the morning to fix the issue. The HVAC crew came and was not able to resolve the heating issue, it was still very cold in the basement. This is a quote from the host after the issue was brought up: "I'm so sorry, our geothermal has been out of sorts but it's typically kept the space at 18 degrees. " so the issue was known.
All considered, it is a nice unit, wonderful location, great price, but questionable hosts who did not properly inspect the unit for cleanliness or give full dislosure of ongoing heating issues.
