We were so excited to explore a new area of Montreal. However, this apartment was a huge disappointment. Upon opening the door to the building entrance we were overwhelmed by the smell of cigarette smoke. The apartment is on the ground floor and is just permeated with the smell in every room. The sheets had not been changed as we found hair, grit and even a toenail in the beds. We decided to wash the sheets and found the washer full of dirty towels and the lint trap in the dryer dangerously full. We contacted the host who responded immediately and we sent photos. We were offered the cleaning fee reimbursement which was only $59. Hardly enough compensation for over $450US per night rental. Verdun is a nice area but I do not recommend this apartment.
