It was my first time staying in a rental in Montreal, so I don't know much about the city. I liked the cozy, clean apartment. everything was set up and designed very conveniently. easy check in and check out, and cost and co-host were very responsive and polite. the place was very clean and fresh, they had necessities like shampoo, coffee, salt/pepper, laundry room with detergent, dishwasher with soap provided etc. So you don't really need to bring any of those things with you. The only thing I didn't like was the area, it didn't seem safe during the night. but since the apartment was on a 5th floor and the building is very secured with multiple scan stations it felt very safe in the apartment itself. If you are a smoker like me, mind that there is no balcony, so you will have to go downstairs every time you need to smoke. Thank you!
