I recently stayed at Alexia's place with my bf for the christmas break for 4 nights. Her place was very clean with all essential amenities provided such as towels, pots and pans to use for making food in the kitchen, and much more.
Alexia's place is well situated in a cute location with various shops and stores just a block or two away. Due to the freezing cold however, we had to use taxi's to go to Downtown and Old Montreal. The drive took about 10 mins for both . I am sure a walk to both locations in better weather would not be that long either, and there is so much to see along the way! - So if good location is important for your trip, this is definitely a great place to stay !
Alexia also allowed us to check in early and check out later when leaving (we had a late flight home) due to not having guests coming on the day of our departure. She was also quick to respond on text / airbnb message throughout our stay for anything we needed or if we had questions .
The only con we would say would be the thin walls of the building. You can hear people coming in and out of the building as well as neighbours, depending on how loud they are. Our upstairs neighbour for instance caused some noises here and there during our stay, even past 10:30 in which I believe is the noise cut off for the building, but nothing to make our stay less enjoyable !
Otherwise, Alexi's place is great - if we come back to Montreal ,we may just come back here !
Thanks Alexia !
