Tyler and Erol have put special care into creating a space that is peaceful, clean, tidy, and modern. I appreciated the updated features of the apartment.
What I didn't expect: While the apartment is in a great central location (everything my partner and I planned to see was within 10-30 mins walk from the apartment), I didn't realize it was right in the McGill Ghetto. There is a frat/sorority house right beside the apartment and there were a few loud parties going on in the apartment across the street that could see right in the bedroom window. There is an issue with the bottom lock which the hosts mentioned but the lock should be replaced all together as this still created problems for us. Luckily the top lock is a deadbolt so our belongings still felt secure. There was a smoke smell in the hallway of the apartment but the apartment itself didn't smell of smoke so it didn't bother us too much.
The hosts gave lots of great recommendations which was helpful. There was parking available to rent which was also convenient as we ended up just using transit and walked the entire trip. There are transit stops very close to the apartment.
If you don't plan on spending lots of time at the apartment but need somewhere VERY comfortable, where you'll have a great sleep, and where you'll be walking distance from lots of activities that Montreal has to offer, then this is a great apartment!
Thank you Tyler and Erol!
