Philippe’s apartment is a nice place to stay for short or longer stays.
My roommates and I (4 in total) spent 3,5 months in Philippe’s apartment. We generally really enjoyed it and the amenities that it offers. It should be noted furniture and beds are all worn.
It is not located in the center of Montreal but that is reflected in the price and it is easy to bike, walk or take the metro.
We had a good experience with Philippe as a host. He generally responded quickly after we wrote him. However, we had a few mice in the apartment and when the problem wasn’t resolved by putting out poison, Philippe was slow and reluctant to call exterminators and sent his janitor first. None of Philippe’s methods worked and we applied him for a reasonable refund which he didn’t take nicely. We contacted AirBnB who agreed that we were eligible for a refund. Philippe stopped being proactive and following up after that, which is disappointing.
The above was probably an exemption rather than the rule.
