We were very happy with the place. It's all about the value. We were on a tight budget, and the price was right, and while the place is fairly basic - exactly as pictured in the photos, it has absolutely everything we needed and could have wanted for the budget. The apartment was extremely clean, the linens and towels fresh and of high quality. It's located in a charming authentic Montreal neighbourhood, with the stairways on the facades. It's a 7 minute walk from the subway, and it's only about 25 minute bike ride to the Old Port area, or to the Jean Drapeau park on the island where the concert was that we stayed for. The location is perfect for biking around Montreal - which is the best way to experience the city. We brought our own bikes, but a Bixi station is nearby. A pedestrian street (no cars) with many restaurants, cafes and pubs is just 2 minutes walk away. The neighbourhood looks safe and pleasant. Communication was very good, all questions were answered quickly and positively. Parking is challenging in Montreal, but it's free and I was lucky to get a spot right under the house. Kitchen has a coffee machine, electric teapot, microwave, pans and pots etc. - everything we needed, including salt pepper etc. Fridge is clean, as is everything else. I really can't think of any negative things about the place even if I try, except that it's basic and unassuming, but the features are exactly right for the price - basic is what we were looking for. Bunk bed in a small bedroom is perfectly suitable for an adult (I slept there). The house is old, like many in central Montreal (so be prepared for uneven walls and squeaky floor, but that's normal for the neighbourhood), but well-kept. Check-in is just a code lock on the door (pull it slightly when opening, to allow the lock to open properly). So we were not worried about checking in late. Overall - we had a great experience and I will be happy to return next time I'm in Montreal.
