"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I'd absolutely stay there and wouldn't think twice about it. I am anti-air-conditioning in general. I didn't use A/C all summer in central Florida, my car didn't have it either. (I do understand some A/C use in Arizona and other desert areas) but in the northeast? Nope, don't need it. My apartment is 81 degrees right now and it's not uncomfortable in the least.

lol really? You only understand a/c in the desert? I keep my house at like 76 I am not an excessive a/c user by any means. But over 90 is when I draw the line, lol
If it gets too hot, I literally can't sleep. We lost power last summer for a few days and it was miserable. I hardly got any sleep, had to put DS in our room because his room was hotter than ours.... blech. Hated it.

I didn't grow up with A/C and didn't even find use for it in central Florida. I literally can count on one hand the number of times I've been hot in my life.

Ugh, you are lucky then. It gets to 76 in my house and DS and I are sweaty messes.
This whole thread is just a bunch of "no" answers, right?
There's nothing for me to actually read, correct?
Well, there is this one:

I'm trying to figure out if this is truly a comfort thing or frugality thing. Give me a high electric bill all day long; I can't sleep if I feel like I'm being suffocated.

How can anyone be 'Anti A/C'?
Well, she is currently shocked at how high her electric bill is. See MM.

True, 81 is not uncomfortable. However, it got up to 88 degrees in our house in northern Jersey (aka, the northeast) before we installed the window units. And that was about a month before it got to 98 degrees outside.

This is literally the craziest thing I've read on GBCN yet. The humidity makes the heat 100 times worse. I can't imagine August in FL without AC.
This post fired me up so much that I turned my air on and it was only 79 in here.
For me, it's not really a frugality thing - I literally am never hot. I didn't grow up with A/C and have looked at quite a few houses without it - not everyone has it here in Pittsburgh, especially if they have old school hot water heat.
I get that this is weird - I'm opposed to the concept of air conditioning for most people (elderly and the sick, I do think that's necessary). I think it wastes energy and people lived without it for centuries in the northeast and did fine.
I like it warm in the summer and cold in the winter, I like to feel seasons. I know it's weird, I have only told a few ppl in real life and they told me how crazy I was. I keep that under wraps.
But anyway, yes, I'd stay at their house in Canada and I'd probably love it, to be honest.

Wait till you hit menopause. You'll be hot alright, multiple times a day. You'll like your A/C then.

I would do it for a night or two with a fan. And I would open the window in my room at night (at least for a couple of hours to cool things off).
We willingly go to our cottage throughout the summer where there is no A/C so I spend most of my weekends without it. However, I realize there is a big difference between being in a city heat and being beside a lake heat.
