I had a terrible experience at Stef’s place- the reviews do not reflect the accomodation. After reading the reviews, I was expecting a nice, clean well maintained place for a quiet stay in the beautiful Plateau. Instead the place was unclean (floors and sofa soiled), a joint and dirty laundry left from a previous guest, surfaces not wiped down and there is no AC (beware summer travellers). The place smelled strongly of a cat odour in the main area, and dead mouse in the front bedroom. Windows barely open / cannot be left open as it is a main floor unit so there are security issues. The beds are not comfortable- they are soft from over use. The place is not well maintained as you would expect from the photos– lots of cracks in floors, soft beds from overuse, worn down and chipped cabinets- not the kind of place a working professional or female solo traveller would choose to stay. After 1 night of trying to adjust, I gave up and asked Stef to refund me the remaining days – but she refused saying she was cash-strapped due to Covid. I should have called AirBNB directly right then and there. After a final sleepless night, I re-booked my train to Toronto to shorten my Montreal trip. I left the place in spotless condition and on time for check out per her instructions. I am taking this up with AirBNB customer service as we speak. Worst part of all is that Stef threatened to give me a bad review if I left a review. I wondered how no other negative reviews were posted… now her behaviour explains it. The place may be up to standard for students or those who don’t care about comfort or cleanliness but definitely not for a working professional looking for something tasteful and comfortable.
