When looking for a place to stay in Montreal my friends and I stumbled upon this place that came at a really great deal. Before booking, the host reached out to us to let us know that the apartment is located in the heart of Montreal's entertainment district, next door to many bars, clubs, festivals & concert halls so that it may get loud during the weekends. We appreciated the heads up before booking but ultimately I felt like the host wasn't completely transparent. This stay was next to a strip club and had we known when booking we would have found another place. The location made me feel slightly unsafe when returning at night, always making sure to check behind me when entering the building. When it comes to the noise you can definitely hear the bass of the music through the walls but a good pair of headphones and tunes will do the trick. In terms of checking in/out, the host reached out with more information when it got closer to our stay date. The process was seamless because the locks were all codes and didn't require having to pick up a key at a different location. The host accommodated to our early arrival time to Montreal by providing a space under the stairs to store our luggage before we can check into our room. I would recommend this place to anyone who can sleep through noise and don't mind the location and atmosphere. If not, this may not be the place for you.
