Our experience was ok but the host ruined it in the end!! I will never go back there.
When we arrived the code for the door didn't work so that took us about 10min to figure things out. We liked the location. It is a nice street. Busy but nice. The condo looked very clean when we arrived but the yard outside was not was we expected at all. The bbq was nasty and the yard was just messy and not well taking care of at all. The sliding door was extremely hard to open and close it made the place feel less high end overall. The couch outside had no cushions and was kind of falling apart so very uncomfortable. The table was covered in bird poop. It was very hot and humid in Montreal that weekend so when we asked the host online about the A/C a very young boy came downstairs to tell us there was no A/C for us! So I guess the host's friends live upstairs and they send a young boy to deal with requests and issues. I was upset at that point because it was so hot but my husband found an opened store at 9pm at night and bought 2 ventilators. The actual host messaged us like 2 days later to offer us one ventilator. She seemed nice but I thought it was strange that she was messaging us 2 or 3 days later to offer things instead of right away. On our last day we put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and most of the dirty towels in the bin. We had to rush out the door for our flights with 2 young children so we didn't leave the place as tidied as I would have liked but I thought the dishes was the most important. Then, the host started sending me tones of messages. Asking me why I left the ventilators we bought on. Sending me a picture of a roll of paper towel we forgot on the floor. Pictures of the few toys still unwrapped we left behind thinking they were going to be happy to have extra new toys for their guests since they seem to attrack families with young children. She sent me a picture of the bread we left on the counter and started complaining about the fact that she was coming back from her holiday to her place that was not perfectly clean and tidied up! She was telling me she doesn't have a cleaning team and she is the one that has to clean. But the place was not dirty by any means! Not perfectly tidied up but not dirty! I am still shocked about the whole thing. I felt as if she was harassing us sending us so many messages as if we were expected to leave the place like we found it in the first place. So that really ruined my entire experience in the end. We always rent and never had this happened to us before and I never had a bad review from a host and never actually wrote a bad review. Overall not worth your money. There is definitely better options out there.
