The toilet was broken upon arrival causing us to have to use public restrooms for the first day. And then the host requested that we pay the $300+ fee for the plumber. Thankfully airbnb allowed us to decline this, but I was quite appalled.
Once we checked out, the host also tried to charge us more than $1100+ in "damages" for fingerprints left on the fridge door and hard water stains on the kitchen counter behind the faucet from the minerals in the water that splashes up from the sink. Airbnb is mediating in the resolution center and said it can take up to 3-4 weeks to resolve which is very frustrating. It is quite unpleasant getting random fees and charges for damages that we didn't do or were not realistic. I thought this place was a great value and a good place for our one month stay in Montreal but the additional payment requests, fees and headache make it totally not worth it.
The apartment itself was okay and located very close to a grocery story which is convenient but it was also very loud. As stated in the booking, there is an upstairs neighbor, but it is more than just a child running around. There are people running around and stomping through the upstairs apartment at all hours of the day. We were woken up in the middle of the night many times because of this.
