Staying at Melissa’s was definitely an underwhelming experience.
My friend and I chose this Airbnb because of the location (accessible to a lot in Montreal, including the Metro), cleanliness, and price. Considering it would be just the two of us, we weren’t too concerned with having a large space.
Our check-in went smoothly, but by that evening we had discovered that the TV doesn’t work, even according to the instructions left in the “House Rules Manual” found in one of the bedrooms.
We discovered shortly thereafter that the washing machine also doesn’t, however there were no notes on this in the Manual - only instructions regarding the dryer, which we didn’t end up needing because we couldn’t wash our clothes.
Lastly, we noticed there was only one 1/2 roll of toilet paper left for us upon arrival, and once that had finished, we realized there were no other rolls of toilet paper left anywhere for us by the owner.
I have rented several Airbnb’s over the years, and am really not one to leave a negative review, but I simply haven’t experienced such a low level of hospitality at any of the other places I’ve stayed. I don’t want anyone else to share the same experience.
In the future, we’ll be sure to read all of the reviews first, and look to spend a little more if it means experiencing a higher standard of hospitality.
