All in all, great experience. Thanks for making our stay in Montreal comfortable and easy.
The Good: the apartment is spacious, clean, and modern. Plus, there’s a lamp shaped like a squirrel (who can resist that?!). The layout is very open and the beds are quite comfortable. The apartment's location within the entertainment district, yet close-ish to Old Montreal and Downtown, is quite nice. If you are looking for good bars nearby, I highly recommend The Midway Taverne and Distillerie No. 1.
While there is certainly no obligation on the end of the host, this was the first Airbnb I have stayed at in which the owner/host did not reach out to confirm my stay was going as planned or that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. However, he did let us know to contact him with any questions, to be fair. For us, this was no problem. But, if you are looking for a host to interact with, this probably isn't your listing.
I would certainly recommend this rental to others as a reliable and safe listing.
Final Note: I would never allow the nighttime noise to affect my review, as it was stated time and time again in the listing and in reviews. But, I do recommend some headphones or earplugs to future guests, as the music did become quite loud after midnight, especially on Friday and Saturday.
