The place was amazing! By far the best Airbnb experience I've had, and I've been to quite a few. Great value for space and location. What I liked:
- clean, large and tidy space with modern furniture and fixtures (hard to find in this area)
- clean bathroom with spacious shower (a lot of hosts leave hair behind)
- clean and plentiful utensils, dishes, glasses, etc (a lot of hosts only have bare minimum fork and knives and plates)
- clean washing machine (some hosts really gunk this up)
- clean kettle and toaster! (Can't believe how many hosts and spaces don't have this. at a hotel once, I once encountered a guest's instant noodles inside a toaster lol).
- wifi and ac is sufficient, but can use an upgrade
- however, it's a really central location and large modern space vs price. You can't really beat it - some stays nearby are closer to st. laurent, but a lot smaller, older or messier.
- host is really responsive and keeps connected with you during your stay
I think you get the idea, a lot of places I've stayed were either small for the price, or dirty once you start paying attention. The cleaners and hosts know what they are doing, and are doing a great job here. I trust the place with my clothes, cooking, etc during my stay here. Hope I can book with Louis and Mark again next time I visit montreal!
