Lots of things to say about this place! I stayed here for 2 months (Sept-Oct 2020) before moving into my permanent apartment. Easy to get to, great location. Guy-Concordia station is a 4 minute walk. Lots of food shops nearby to eat out. Middle Eastern grocery stores and restaurants. Close to cool art galleries and the MMFA. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, big closet for clothes and not cute but practical, large dresser for storing some things. The place had good mirrors.
Sadly, lots of negatives to this space and I feel it's important to say that the photos of the space are quite misleading and you should know beforehand what you're booking. Basically this space is only good for sleep. Thankfully it's quite quiet at night so no problems there. With that said, twice during my stay the fire alarm went off and I had to evacuate the building, along with the other tenants.
Furthermore, The oven was totally unusable when I came in as it was EXTREMELY dirty and clearly hadn't been cleaned before I arrived. I told Samuel about it and the next day someone came by to clean it. Pretty much all of the kitchenware had to be thoroughly washed before using because it had the kind of dirt that sticks. The place in general is old so it can only get so clean.
The photos make the space appear newer and brighter than it is in real life. No sunlight gets in the room. The kitchen appears sparking clean and white in photos but it's not that bright. There was no sofa, as was shown in ad. Samuel listed the space as "laptop-friendly" but there was an old, apparently pre-owned desk in the room with a tiny chair. I instead worked on the desk by the kitchen (black chairs in the photos), and it was extremely uncomfortable. There was no shampoo, no soap, no toilet paper, and no oil and no salt and pepper for cooking. I brought it up to Samuel and he explained that the space was empty because of covid-precautions, but the entire space should be sanitized, not emptied out.
The only valuable thing about Samuel's space was the location. If this kind of space were anywhere outside of the city it would get 2 stars. Because of the location and the fact that it wasn't shared are what makes this space a fair price. It fulfilled its purpose for me which was to use the space before I moved into my apartment, so I stayed here because I needed to, not because I wanted to. It's a perfectly fine space for 1 or 2 people to stay if they just want a place to rest their head at night and don't care at all about the space being nice.
