Alexandre’s flat is stylish and super clean, on a quiet street close to green line metro, restaurants along Ontario, and the botanical garden. A great value if you’re looking for something more low-key and okay not staying downtown or more travelled neighborhoods like Plateau Mont Royal, Mile End, etc.
It’s space is enough for two comfortably, or four if sharing a bed is acceptable. Note, the second bed is a futon. There is an extra comforter in the bedroom closet but no sheets for the futon.
As advertised, there is heat but no AC. Alexandre does provide one industrial-sized fan (which is quite loud and very strong even on the low setting) but you will need to bring another fan if someone is sleeping on the futon in the living room. It was in 60s and 70s during our June visit so being without AC wasn’t a problem; but if temps were any higher, AC would be nice.
The free parking space out back is convenient; but there is no access to the apartment from the back, so you have to walk around the block to enter the apartment by the front door. Not a big deal if you’re not planning to use your car much but something to keep in mind if you are.
Kitchen is very clean and equipped with 4-burner stove, oven, microwave, full-size refrigerator, dishes, drip coffee maker, and hot water heater.
Wireless internet connection is reliable and there is a TV in living room with antenna.
Did I mention how clean the apartment was? Something not to be underestimated when booking on Airbnb.
Enjoy and happy travels!
