This is an unfussy place for those looking for a cheap place to sleep, and you get what you pay for.
Pros: The location was great, very centrally located (close to Chinatown, Complexe Dejardins, many metro stations/bus stops, etc. -- all within walking distance). Julio was a very attentive host, very open to addressing all our concerns in a timely manner, and cooperative in providing solutions. We visited during a heatwave and we were very happy to find a strong air conditioner in the room.
Cons: The apartment is very old, so you can expect hallways and rooms to smell very heavily of cigarette smoke and marijuana. The place appeared much older than photographed. Amenities (blankets, towels, kitchen appliances, etc.) were heavily used so if you mind this, bring your own.
