The flat is located in a convenient street in the McGill ghetto but is on the first floor which means barely above street level. The entrance hall is not particularly pleasant, unpleasant smells greet you almost each time you enter: the chain smoking of the janitor, all manners of food smells, marijuana, epoxy resin etc... The flat is self check-in ie. there is a lock box with a code to collect your key, the lock is very flimsy, I was worried for my belongings each time I left. The flat is completely impersonal, no note to tell you were to find a good breakfast or dining place near by, no welcome food or water - Tyler and Erol are not hosts, they are landlords who manage flats.
The flat has large windows panes in slim aluminum frames which you can not open. In the winter the cold comes right through. In the bedroom you have to keep the blind down for privacy and against the draft, in the living room I felt like a fish in an aquarium, far from a "sunny utopia". The flat has seen much better days, the furniture as well. The photos are from a long time ago and the flat is not as big as it seems.
The kitchen is mostly for decoration, you would be hard pressed to cook pasta with the utensils at hand. But Tyler and Erol very promptly and kindly provided a tea pot and mugs so I could make fresh tea in the morning.
The bedroom is very cool because of the draft coming through the window, you will be woken up by the clicking of the heating unit at regular intervals. if you leave the door open to collect the heat from the living room, you will hear the fridge all night. The bed felt short and I am not known to be a tall person.
The TV is of beautiful quality and has Netflix! The shower is very powerful. I stayed 7 nights in this apartment, I can't say I enjoyed it. Also a service charge of 70 euros is added to the night price and cleaning charge, not sure what for.
