Lise was a great host. She was proactive about reaching out to me prior to my stay, which was helpful, and she was also very responsive and available throughout. The location is excellent-- across from a park, close to the metro, and with Bixi bike stands right nearby.

However, unfortunately the apartment itself was not quite what I had expected. The cabinets and surfaces in both the bathroom and kitchen were fairly crammed full of stuff, which was not particularly inviting, clean, or functional. We could not really find much in the way of clean dishes to use. Basically the place looked and felt way too "lived in" for a place I was paying for. This was my first Airbnb experience, so I accept some of the responsibility for it not being what I wanted, because she did not post many photos and I just assumed it would not be so cluttered. Live and learn, but I will never again reserve a place without seeing more pictures first-- especially of the kitchen and bathroom.
