We were attracted to this rental because of the pictures and reviews. We stayed two months. Our take is...
Dysfunctional rental property passed off as vintage character - a reno in progress at premium prices.
Location is good. 1 km away from Laurier Street where restaurants, shops and parks are nested within a quaint and a clean environment.
Very comfortable living room with new furniture but only antenna TV (small) with complementary Netflix. Sofa is very comfortable!
AC works well but does not reach bedroom on very hot days. Stuffy musty smell
Very noisy. Can hear upper floor tenants walking (Doc Marten and cowboy boots) and thundering down the stairs throughout the day and night.
Hostile upstairs tenant (we were accused of staying illegally on our first day).
Outside of property is under construction and was not disclosed. Ask for pictures or address so you can check online first
Paint peeling in bedrooms, cracks in walls and ceilings.
Lumpy uncomfortable mattresses. Bedroom small for the queen size bed - no room for bed tables on either side.
Safety concerns for us included faulty ac outlets; tripping hazard in shower; inoperative back door; loose step on outdoor stairs; no smoke or carbon monoxide detectors as advertised. But there is a fire extinguisher.
No private balcony access as advertised for 6 out of 8 weeks of our stay.
Bathroom, while renovated, was not functional or comfortable, but lots of toilet paper.
Most doors do not close and none of them close entirely without force.
Despite being welcomed back by host whenever we return to Montreal, we will not be considering this property.
