The caretaker of the apartment is very nice and they were accommodating to my booking schedule and allowing me to bring my cat. However the furniture/decor/linens inside seem as old as the building itself - that, along with the dark wall to wall carpeting, make the “light and airy” description a bit odd. It is close to the metro but quite far from most sights montreal has to offer. There is no soundproofing in between the units so if you need to work from the apartment this will be an issue. It also often smells of cigarette smoke. Lastly, the refrigerator makes a very loud humming sound almost 24/7 that may drive you mad.
