Would not recommend. After we arrived and got the key we were unable to get into the building and unable to get a hold of either of the numbers listed for 30 minutes (waiting in the heat) as they did not include the code to get into the building along with the other codes/information.
The photos online make the space seem much nicer than it actually is.
There is NO AC, and the windows are at ground level without bars. Maybe that’s the norm, but this was our first time in Montreal and we didn’t feel safe leaving the windows open at night and it was too hot to sleep with the windows closed and no AC.
The apartment was 86*F, 30*C when we arrived. Very uncomfortable.
It was superficially cleaned - there were pubes and hair on the bathroom floor and in the bathtub.
We work remotely, and it would have been too hot to work in there during the day. I imagine this space would be more comfortable in the spring or fall.
We stayed for as long as it took to book a hotel (for about the same price and much nicer) then we left. Even knowing that we had just wasted money, as there is a strict no refunds policy. We did get a hold of Airbnb support and with their help the owners did end up giving us a partial refund.
