Phil’s place is very convenient to attractions and restaurants.
However when we checked in on August 11 evening, we found there were only 3 towels instead of 4 when we had a booking for 4. One of the towels was very dirty and I informed Phil about it.( I sent Phil pictures) He told me he would get us the towel in the morning when the store opened. But we left at 11:30 a.m the next morning with 2 unhappy travelers as they didn’t have a towel to bathe. On our return that evening we did find the towels, ironing board and tea as requested outside our door.
Also, we brought some ice cream and found out that the freezer was broken and the door was kept on top of the refrigerator.
I also feel that Phil should have listed that there is a parking fee of $25 to use a garage space if wanted. There is absolutely no parking available on the street so one should add that in the price of the place when booking.
On the 13th morning at 4 a.m we were awakened by the fire alarm and had to trudge 10 flights of stairs down to be told it’s a false alarm. We had to trudge 10 flights back up again as the elevator couldn’t be used. At 6a.m the fire alarm went off again and this exercise was repeated. Yes the elevator couldn’t be used yet again on our way back.
There is a lot of construction happening and one right in front of the apartment. There is no view as such anymore.
Our trip to Montreal was enjoyable but these things put a dampener when one is paying over $200 a night.
