We were looking for a location that would be safe and central for easy exploring of the city and this was our very first time in Montreal.
We picked Chinatown for two reasons it was pretty central to all of the neighborhoods we wanted to visit, close proximity to great food, major streets, etc. The apartment location was nice it is in a quiet alley away from the major street, but just a block away to get out in the morning and start moving
We didn’t watch much TV but there is access to Netflix which was easy to use, and we did few nights.
Building is safe and secure, it does have characters wondering around, however, we never felt unsafe.
Cleanliness – place was spotless with exception of the futon and a chase which were advertised as additional sleeping space. The futon looked dirty, it had so many weird spots on them.
I gave it 4 stars for description, because the 2nd bed option is really not an option
I would not count them as a sleeping space because of the quality. Metal brackets are unbearable. We brought our own towels, however, the host provided ample amount of towels. I actually used several to pad the wholes and cover up the metal brace and slept in reverse position.
Another major minus for me is absolute lack of any kind of a storage. There is plenty of space to put in a large dresser to allow for visitors to unpack some personal belongings. We basically had to live out of a suitcase the whole time.
If you are driving – the parking is right around the corner and it is safe. The only issue we ran into, is that on the day we arrived the lot was occupied by some filming crew and we had to scramble and park at a near by lot which was expensive, but ok for one night.
Parking lots all wanted cash! This is my 3rd time visiting Canada so I saved money and had Canadian dollars with me.
I would recommend this place, but hoping the host will replace the futon and get a dresser.
