The flat is in a great neighbourhood with a good vibe and plenty of local pedestrian street life. Close to Jean Talon market and Little Italy park. The parking spot makes an enormous difference if you are visiting Mtl with a car, since most street parking is metered or resident-only. There is good public transit to get wherever you need to go.
The flat has all conveniences (kitchenware, TV, wifi somewhat sluggish). It’s anonymously but fully furnished (comfy couch) like a hotel (with poly-blend linens). For privacy you have to lower the shades: the neighbouring apartment renters and maintenance crew come by often and the street side is open to the public; that’s normal for Mtl. Street noise is enough that the managers left earplugs (which we used).
The owners are responsive and have a full crew - the flat next door is also rented by them and we saw the crew come and go. It’s understandable that the flat is used continuously which explains why it is a bit worn (burns, cracked bedslats, scratched plates). It was spotless but the cleaning crew must struggle to keep up, since there were still wet linens in the dryer, the wrong coffee pods for the machine [owners offered to come by with correct ones], lost sock under the bed, clogged tub drain (ick!).
Overall we were happy to have found this flat last minute in the neighbourhood we needed to visit, and appreciated the parking spot above all.
