Great location in a lively neighborhood just a few minutes from the Mont-Royal Metro stop. The apartment is just off a major artery which runs between two even larger streets, both of which have tons of restaurants and cafes within 15 or 20 minutes' walk. And right downstairs there's a lovely boulangerie--very convenient for morning coffee and pastries!
Sonder is a "distributed hotel" company, not a traditional "host," so the communication is not as friendly and personalized as we're used to on Airbnb. They also ask you to download their own app to communicate with them, so there is an extra step involved. That said, the app works well and when we needed some extra laundry detergent we were able to get it easily by chatting with a Sonder staff person via the app. You sacrifice some personality, but it's all very automated and efficient.
The apartment was exactly as shown, with a very clean and modern feel. Nice natural light from the windows in both bedroom and living room. The internet is extremely fast, so we were able to work remotely and take video calls all day without any issues.
