I booked this airbnb for a week trip to Montreal to visit my son who lives there. The apartment is well located in Mile End and just a block from my son so extra bonus! The apartment is as per the photos - very clean, we'll laid out. The bed is big and comfortable with very nice quality sheets and duvet. The gray chair is extremely comfy and I spent a lot of time in it watching Netflix! I was able to set up my laptop at the little kitchen table and that worked out very well. The apartment has the right amount of electrical outlets which is refreshing. There were towels supplied as well as soap, Shampoo, and all the basic kitchen necessities.
One thing I suggest is that you bring your own coffee maker such as a French press because the coffee maker does not work (makes weak lukewarm coffee at best while simultaneous pouring water all over the counter that you need to continuously mop up with your limited supply of paper towel) so if you are a coffee person like me you will be very disappointed. It is the main reason I gave this place 4 stars. The other reason for the 4 stars as well as the 2 stars on communication is that when I arrived the temperature in the apartment was extremely hot. There were no instructions for the heat unit so I tried to open one of the windows, the middle of the 3, which I chose as it would provide fresh air more centrally into the apartment, but while it opened there was no way to keep it open and it would just shut. I was not sure if there was some trick to the hardware as sometimes these things can be quirky. Very frustrating in any case so I immediately texted Louis. When I didn't hear back I texted again. Never got a reply which was very disappointing.
The neighbors in the building had a tendency to play very loud music throughout the day which was irritating but at least it was quiet at night.
Overall I had a good stay and the apartment mostly lived up as advertised. I loved the location - within easy walking distance of great shops, cafes, grocery stores, bagels etc.
