Very lovely and spacious apartment. I think I would give 4 stars if we are staying during cooler days.
Pros:
- The apartment was clean, spacious, lovely, well furnished, and well kept.
- It has more than enough space and furniture for 4~5 people.
- Very close to a main artery road going to Montreal Downtown.
- Kitchen is fully equiped.
- Neighbourhood is quiet and safe.
- Neighours are nice too and showed us where to park.
- There is a large belcony with tables and chairs.
Cons:
- The air conditioning was not strong enough for the entire apartment in the hot 32 degree days we stayed. There was only one portable air conditioner with a hose going through a window in the living room. The living room and the front bedroom has a ceiling fan, but the back bedroom only has a weak portable fan. The back bedroom was consistently at 30 degrees no matter how long we turn the air conditioner and fans on. The front bedroom was able to reach 27 to 28 degrees at night. We end up using the living room sofa bed and the front bedroom to sleep. We considered opening the window to sleep at night, but both bedroom windows faced the external front and back stairs directly, so we were paranoid to kept the windows open at night.
- The twin mattresses in the front bedroom are very worn out. They have sunken in shape even without any weight on it, and squeaks loudly with any movement. Luckily the owner provided extra blankets and pillow, which I used under my lower back and knees to help support my back. We are not sure about the queen mattress in the back bedroom as we did not sleep in it.
We loved the apartment a lot, but we think it would be much more enjoyable if the airconditioning and mattresses can be improved.
