This is a great apartment in a great neighbourhood and Maya is a very responsive host. It’s a beautiful street, super close to Parc Lafontaine, and walking distance (40-50 minutes) to Old Port & downtown.
There are a few things to be aware of though:
- the stairs (outside and inside) are extremely steep and slippery. If you have mobility issues at all, this is not the place for you
- the closest metro stations are both a 20 minute walk away
- the wifi is a little spotty at times, especially upstairs
- the bathroom is very small and there is an extra glass wall so anyone upstairs would be able to see you in the shower
- a small amount of household supplies (soap, garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towel) are provided, but if you’re staying more than a couple weeks, you’ll need to buy your own
- the neighbours in the bldg can be a little noisy (sometimes early in the morning, sometimes later at night)
Overall, I would highly recommend this spot for someone travelling on their own who wants to be close to the action of the city without being right downtown.
