I would recommend this unit to friends who are looking for a weekend trip to Montreal. It is located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood with great local cafes nearby and a gas station right around the corner!
1. Cleanliness. The unit definitely met the cleanliness standards. This was an important feature for us given the nature of the times!
2. Check-in. Checking in was relatively easy. However, we arrived pretty late at night and as a result, struggled to see the building number. We went around the block a couple of times before we finally found the building. Just note that it is the building that has the giant "Y" structure in front!
3. Communication. The host was very quick to respond to our inquires. I reached out a week in advance to ask about preferred means of getting to downtown Montreal and they were able to give me all the information I needed + more.
4. Location. For us, the location was great! It is about a 7-minute walk from the Metro station. There are a few restaurants/cafes down the street that we frequented. Not too much through traffic after 10PM. The only comment I would have to say is regarding the upstairs unit - they were a bit loud at times (no fault of the host but should be noted)
5. Parking. Finding parking is something that is a bit of a struggle depending on the time of day/week. Some things to keep in mind that we didn't know - most streets around the area are one way, make sure to pay attention to the parking signage (there are a few different ones) and it is FREE so once you get a spot to settle into, it's great!
6. Value. We would say that it is fairly priced for what it is. Between paying this price for a hotel vs. this unit, I would prefer this unit.
7. Kitchen/Shower Notes. You will need to supply your own shampoo, conditioner, soap, and probably towels. They provided towels but I would just recommend bringing your own. With regards to the kitchen, they provide you with all the cooking utensils, dishware, flatware, and cups/mugs that you may need but you will need to bring everything else (condiments, oils, salt, sugar, coffee etc.)
Overall, we had a really great stay and would consider staying here again in the future!!
Safe Travels!
