Great place!
My co worker and I stayed at Nicole and Brian's VRBO while travelling to Quebec for a work trip. The place and location was amazing. Everything was as listed and easy to find. Nicole and Brian were really easy to communicate with and responded really fast. I would definitely recommend their VRBO to anyone going through the area.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
