We've travelled to Montreal a handful of times and this was one of the worst places we've seen. We'll start with the outside - the place is a in really rough area, there was spray paint on the building, people sleeping/passed out on the streets (although no fault to the host but I believe it is worth mentioning). We still decided to give this place a chance and enter the unit and see if the inside doesn't match the outside. We open the door to find this really outdated stairs, which made it difficult to bring up our bags. One of my friends actually almost took a tumble on the way down. Once we actually got into the place (after a five minute struggle with the second door), we noticed some really nasty stains on the couch. Bodily fluid, food, you name it this couch had it. Once we spotted that, we knew right away this place wasn't well taken care of. Neither of us felt comfortable staying there. We walked in and walked out scrambling to look for another place to stay. Mind you we got to Montreal at 2 in the morning, tired from the long drive and we still didn't want to stay there. There was a camera at the entrance that would show us walking in and walking right out. It was McGill graduation week apparently and all hotels were fully booked. It took us a solid two hours to find a place to stay (which we had to pay more for than the airbnb but at least cleanliness wasn't an issue). At the very least, we feel entitled to our money back and quickly contacted Aribnb (which have a ridiculous policy which says it's basically up to the host if they want to refund you). At the very least after seeing the pictures sent, they could've refunded us some money but instead they have gone ghost since the booking. Airbnb keeps telling me they can't get a hold of them, and now here we are two weeks removed from our stay fighting back and forth just to get refunded money for a place we spent a total of maybe 10 minutes in.
