Phil was an excellent host. He didn’t micromanage us and communication was super smooth. Check in was explained accurately and we had no issues figuring out anything. We will definitely stay at one of Phil’s listings next time we visit Montreal again. The place was cool and in the middle of everything. Nothing was more than a 15 minute drive away. We opted for street parking as we read other reviews that stated that the parking deck was tight and didn’t want to be bothered with it and it wasn’t an issue to find a spot within a reasonable distance.
Things we liked:
- The apartment was very nicely decorated, the plants were a lovely touch.
- The location was ideal, a 5 minute drive to several Montreal landmarks.
- The apartment was very warm, we were worried that with concrete floors we would really feel the early spring cold but with thermostats I’m every room there was no issue.
- All basic amenities were provided and the check in was smooth.
Things that could be better:
- The tub. The tub and curtain were pretty dirty. Like miscellaneous stains dirty. This was a bummer as it was something we were looking forward to using.
- That being said, the bed linens were also dirty and we found random hairs in the sheets which was not pleasant. Overall, certain parts of the apartment could certainly have been cleaned better which was disappointing as there is a cleaning fee included in the price.
- Some more lighting wouldn’t hurt. The apartment is very dim in the evening.
- Certain little things like holes in the walls and broken window handles, prior guests hand prints all over the windows and on the wall by the bed lol. A little maintenance wouldn’t hurt.
