I stayed there for one night.
The host: Joel must be a great host. I can tell he was kind, organized and happy to answer my every question. Moreover, he was helpful and answered to my messages almost immediately. He also speaks English a little bit, surely good enough to communicate with his non-french-speaking guests.
The room: The room may need a small renovation but generally speaking, it was clean, warm and without any odors. The view from the balcony was nice too.
To put it short: It was totally worth it.
