The location was very central and if you like the rustic, old feel of Montreal this Airbnb fits it well. The kitchen was not stalked as much as we thought (no toaster, scissors, etc.). Of course this is an old building so no A/C but it was awful to sleep and windows don’t open/have no screen so there was no air flow. Some fans did not work as well as others either. There was one small mirror in the downstairs washroom and with my group getting ready we had to purchase another mirror because the downstairs mirrors in the bedrooms were way too dark to do makeup/hair. My socks were black after walking around on the floors. Bathroom was updated but no vents just a cracked window for air circulation. Check in was simple with the lock box but door was hard to open due to the apartment being older. Towels were supplied but they were old towels and no hand towels for washrooms and when I asked for hand towels I did not get a reply back just a “I hope you’re enjoying your stay”. Bathroom outlet did not work either. We would have loved to hangout in the living room together but it was uncomfortable. The space would have felt more welcoming if it had not just been one small futon. Over all, a cold and empty feeling Airbnb. There was a leak in the windows when it was raining which the host was good about that he would look into it after we had left so hopefully that will be fixed.
It was close to downtown, very walkable and central shopping areas. Seemed relatively safe as well.
I would also like to mention that he said he would go ahead and give me a 5-star review if I did the same which didn’t sit with me as well either.
