I really enjoy this property - the host is wonderful to work with and the location is perfect for my needs. I am anxious about giving such a great review for fear of not having it available when I want to stay! :)

Our little apartment more than met our needs. Decor, furnishings and amenities were all first class and our hosts were delightful! We loved the fact that we could look out over the river and keep an eye on the border crossing. My adult daughter and I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

stop along the way

We only stayed one night, as we were breaking up our trip from PEI to Vermont, but were surprised by how large and well equipped this place was. Very comfortable, and fun to be able to see the border crossing and river right outside the window. Every need was considered by the owner, and the breakfast food was very much appreciated. We walked to 5 Kings Brew Pub for dinner, highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A spectacular spot to stay in St. Stephen! This is a beautifully curated, comfortable and private apartment, with everything imaginable you might need. Communication was prompt and concise. My only suggestion would be to have a couple of lawn chairs, so one can enjoy the spectacular views! As I told the host, our biggest regret was that we couldn’t stay longer - Thank you!

Convenient, cozy, clean and very comfortable.

The communication between us prior to and after arrival was lightening fast and easy. Saira provided great advice on some of the things to do in the area as well as places to dine. The unit is very lwell aid out, immaculate and comfortable. We appreciated the milk and cream for our coffee and tea in the morning. The location could not be beat, walking distance to all of the sights we were interested in. This stay was a continuation of a trip back home to the west and was a great spot to cross the border into Calais and continue our journey. I loved the fact that we could look out the window to see how busy the border crossing was and then gauge the best time to cross. We did not have enough time to explore this region properly and therefore will be back and will definitely request to stay at this unit again..

Far outside expectations

Lots of street noise and no black out curtains (see-through sheers only) so trucks going to the border crossing and idling (literally across the street) meant we were awake most of the night. 7 coffee pods for 2 adults for 4 nights/days. Amenities like washer/dryer were inaccessible and had charges that made them more aptly classed as drip pricing rather than amenities. No dishwasher either despite this being listed as an amenity. I chose location based on amenities and was shocked to find I had been duped by someone counting pennines on their sponges (1 left used and dirty for our use for four days), and coffee pods (1 unhappy camper on the last morning and everyone short changed each day). One day we decided to do a lobster boil only to find out there were actually no pots or pans bigger than a single can soup pan or single omelet pan - probably for the best given that we were working miracles with the amount of dish soap left for our use. Other than that, lots of cutesy decorations all over the apartment. Owners friendly until I asked to use washing machine. Had the advert been clear that amenities were broken, unavailable during day, available for excess charge only, and that we would be living beside trucks idling all night, we would have made a better VRBO choice. If I was older and hard of hearing, it might not have been so bad. If I liked canned and instant food, I probably would not have cared. If we had not needed laundry…As it was - far outside expectations.
