This was my cozy little home for 3 months. Whether you're looking for a long-term place or one for a few days, this listing with Liv Mtl is ideal - here's why:
Location
The location is great. A pedestrian street filled with a variety of options for coffee (Nous sommes café or White Heron) as well as restaurants. You're ±8-minute walk to either the Orange or Green metro lines. The area is busy during summer so street noise can be a little distubring but it did not last long from what I experienced.
Unit itself
It's spotless and decent size for one or two people. It has pretty much everything you would need. In my humble opinion items that would have been nice to have, especially for longer term, but not deal breakers 1) throw/blanket over the sofa, 2) a shower mat, 3) pair of tongs in the kitchen 4) folded-clothes hanger and 5) small pot to boil eggs etc.. Again, as I said not big deal breakers.
A reminder - an adult won't be able to stand up straight in the mezzanine which can be strenous on your back, especially when making the bed/ changing sheets.
Additional note if you decide to sleep on mezzanine, the air conditioning does not reach it well enough for solid cooling. Of course, you have the option to sleep on the sofa bed, which I opted against because I wanted to create separation between my living and sleeping spaces.
Customer-service
Among the best response times I've had on AirBnB. Liv Mtl are very attentative to their guests and check in several times to ensure you have everything you need. For example, the coffee machine broke early on in my stay within an hour, I had a new one. Recently many of the units were refitted with new fridges so you know you have new appliances.
Heads up
Car-owners
If you have a car, you'd be at a disadvantage. One of the closer indoor parking lots had bad Google reviews, so I found another one 15-minute walk away. In summer that was not an issue, not as much fun with the cooler weather. Mind you, I did not use the car often.
Stairs
For anyone with injuries, can't do stairs, this building won't be for you. Had to bribe my British bulldog each day with treats so she can climb the stairs - LOL.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and Liv MTL. I have already inquired about future dates.
