Pros:
- Location is ideal - right in the middle of all the action and easily accessible.
- Comfortable bed.
- Air conditioning.
- Utensils, bowls, plates, microwave, pots/pans, and stovetop available.
Cons:
- In the bathroom, bathtub had some rusting spots; water damage was visible on the walls; paint on the walls was peeling; overwhelming odour that I can only compare to a public restroom; toilet didn't work great - it would continuously run water until you flush again; generally unappealing DIY caulking.
- The smoke detector is very sensitive to steam from the bathroom.
- The refrigerator in the apartment is actually a mini fridge.
The walls are pretty thin, so we heard a lot from all of the neighbours including foot steps, conversations, people going up/down the stairs, which can be common in wood-framed buildings.
Overall, it worked well enough having a place to stay so close to tons of restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. While I didn't highly enjoy the space, if the cons were resolved, I would highly recommend this place. Otherwise, it would be a pass for future visits to Montreal.
