Dangerous!
Night two of my stay, I'm eating dinner and I notice for the first time the smoke alarm is missing in the living room. I check the bedroom and the smoke alarm is wrapped entirely in plastic and not functioning properly!
contacted the host and their excuse was the smoke alarm needed a new battery. Lame excuse!
In the end, they never resolved the smoke alarms issue. In Montreal, having a properly functioning smoke alarm in each bedroom is actually the law.
Communication: Sometimes, they took almost an entire day to reply to my messages, and only after I followed up with a reminder message.
Cleanliness: Overall, very clean except for a couple hairs on a pillowcase, but at least they have a washer & dryer.
Location:. Although conveniently located and an easy walk to numerous attractions, this area has many homeless people and people with drug or mental health issues.
On the second day, I saw a man get arrested by the police for public disturbance just meters away from the condo building!
The kitchen utensils, cutlery, and supplies are all there, but it is the cheaply made stuff. (example: Ikea spatula is cheap plastic and a couple pieces melted into my eggs in the morning)
Even though they have a wide and expansive patio, it cannot be enjoyed as all the exhaust from nearby restaurants permeate the air.
You get what you pay for!
Overall, bad co-hosts who have no regard for the law or their guests safety.
Wouldn't stay here again!
