The host “Merry” is not a real person. A reverse image search shows the photo belongs to an author, Vanessa Van Edwards. The property is listed as ID verified, so if this is concerning to you I’d look elsewhere to stay. All of the interactions from the host are automated. Basic questions I had went unanswered leading up to my stay.
This space is in much rougher condition than photographed. The walls are scuffed and marked, the floors left my feet dirty if I didn’t wear socks. We were provided 4 bath towels, and a kitchen towel. No paper towels or washcloths.
The space is best described as minimally sanitary, definitely not clean. The apartment has a strong smell of chemical air fresheners.
The entire building smelled of garbage every day of our stay — from the time you entered the lobby, up the elevator, and to the front door of the unit.
The unit is well located within easy walking distance of Gay Village, Old Montreal, and Downtown. The space comfortably sleeps two couples. The in-unit washer is a great bonus.
My advice — build an honest profile, deep clean and refresh the space, and add more basics like towels.
