I believe that the place has the potential to be one of the best. However, it is not well maintained!
From the first minute I enteredI noticed: flies in the kitchen, ants on the bathroom floor, the toilet seat in the big room had continuous running water, the AC hoses aren't well patched to the windows, the sofa was not clean... I went and bought an insect repeller the first hour I entered the place!!
Moreover, the towels were left in the dryer, which I noticed 2 days after I was there..i removed them and left them for him in the room because I had bought 2 towels myself.
Additionally, keep an eye on the stuff in the kitchen, there are items that are expired and items that should be thrown right away! And windows do not work (they need maintenance)
Finally, I had 3 large bags that I had to carry on an almost 90° staircase because there is no elevator and the host clearly said that he offers no help with the luggage; so people with heavy stuff...be careful (i had to do it all over again when I left)
On the good side, the place is big and is at a walking distance of everything: 30 sec away from tens of restaurants, 30 sec away from a private medical clinic, 3 min to provigo, 10 min to adonis, 12 min to bestbuy, 1 min to Telus, 2 min to an exchange office, 5 min to rbc bank, 2 min to TD bank, 30 sec to bixi, 3 min to metro lucien l'allier and 6 min to metro concordia, 6 min to metro Bonaventure, fairly close to multiple parks (average 15 to 25 min walk), close to service canada (15 min walk), 1 min away from shops, 3 from Macdonald, etc.
Finally, if you're on a business trip or family vacation, I don't recommend this place, but if you are traveling light and only care about going out and exploring what crescent street has to offer of the wild life, this place could be a fit for you
