Mishel and Xhulia’s home was exactly as described. It was very clean, cozy and perfect for my family of three. The location was close enough to downtown Montreal and to Old Port for us to walk to (40 minutes walk) so we were able to avoid the hassle and price of downtown parking. The AC in the condo worked well in the kitchen and the main sitting area but there was no AC in the bedroom so we slept keeping the door open. The only reason why we didn’t give this place a 5 star rating is because despite the strict no smoking policy, there was a strong smell of smoke when we first entered. My husband and son are extremely sensitive to smoke and my son is asthmatic so this caused a little bit of a problem. When I contacted the host, they were quick to respond and told me that the former renters had violated the no smoke policy and they had tried their best to air out the place. However, as I mentioned to the host, it would have been nice to have been notified so that we could have made other arrangements if so desired. Arriving in the evening and finding out then, did not give us any other alternative but to stay. However, we tried our best to air out the space and managed to continue our stay at this home. The hosts were quick to respond, kind and willing to help whenever they could.
We are confident that you will enjoy your stay as well. Just confirm with the hosts beforehand if you are worried about the smell of smoke.
