Nice, bright, modern space near McGill campus and VERY close to grocery and liquor stores, but is in a noisy and sketchy/rough neighbourhood (~8-10 homeless people on street in either direction, witnessed multiple police incidents and an arrest in evenings).
The apartment itself is good - funky design with a good bathroom and comfortable bed. It has been a bit neglected though and has VERY sparse amenities (a few bowls and plates, two wine glasses, two coffee cups etc.). There was a dishwasher, but you would have to wash dishes by hand after each meal since no extra dishes provided.
Overall, we made it work and it was safe enough for us as a couple. I am not sure I would want to be a single traveller staying here alone - especially in the evening.
Host was very responsive and if they update their attention to this place, it still might be worth a visit.
