The check in process was not smooth. The lockbox and key were difficult to find and unfortunately, the host did not do a great job of explaining where it was. After having to reach out to them, they tried to help but ultimately, we figured it out on our own. As someone who’s not that familiar with Montreal, my advise would be to make sure to reach out so that clear instructions are provided.
The parking is also very complicated. It’s always a guessing game whether you may park on the street or not. So you worry the entire night whether you’re going to get a ticket. If you want a paid parking lot, it covers from 5pm to 5am so you have to pay double the price. My husband and I just risked it for the check out at 11am and luckily, we did not get ticketed. Overall, very bad parking experience and would recommend getting there by transit/Uber if at all possible.
The apartment was close to all amenities so that was a positive! Also clean but missing basics like sugar for the coffee.
