The photos of the place are lovely and the location is ideal. This place however is poorly cared for. The walls are scuffed and the paint is chipped. The place smells of mold. The bathtub was crawling with insects when I arrived. The dishwasher was backed up with water that smelled like garbage and was floating with bits of food. The second bed was loud and creaky and sank under our weight. It was really uncomfortable. The lone cutting board was partially melted and dirty. The cabinet it was in smelled stale. The hair dryer didn’t work, which is a problem in Montreal during winter. All of these issues negatively impacted our stay. I told Aksel about the insects when I arrived and it was taken care of upon my request. We only stayed two nights and the other issues became apparent over the course of our stay. I alerted Aksel to them when we were leaving and he said he would pass my comments to the company that manages the property. This inspires little confidence since they are presumably the ones who have been caring for the apartment up until now. I would not recommend the place again and advise that others steer clear.
