The apartment had several insect traps (I counted 9 total) and was infested with ants in the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, and on the fridge. Host said it was due to a warmer winter and the owner was an exterminator the following week, but the issue was clearly long-term from the *hundreds* of dead ants found under the kitchen sink in the spread Diatomaceous earth. Yet it was still publicly listed instead of fixing it.
The apartment was also ill-equipped. The oven was old and triggered the fire alarm when used. Cutting knives but then no chopping board. An oven but no trays to cook on etc.
The building was noisy with thin walls (next door late-night phone calls), hot temperatures in the room (I suspect the room is next to the building's hot water tank) you need to open the window in the Montreal winter to regulate it down.
I woke up on the third day of being there with ants on my arm. Got out immediately and requested a refund.
Not recommended. Location and price isn't worth it.
