There is a lot to love about this airbnb but there was a lot that could have made it better.
What we loved:
-The location is great and made it easy to just step outside and explore Montreal.
-The aesthetic made for a lovely experience, even when we were inside. We truly loved the architecture and all the details. It was a beautiful but cozy place to call home for a few days!
What could have been better:
-Check-in: We arrived after the 4pm check-in with all of our bags, and a kid and a dog, and needed to park the car but the keys were not in the door, since the apartment was not ready, which was a huge inconvenience. We had to sit and wait for someone to finally come let us in.
-Cleanliness: The place was NOT clean when we arrived. The bathroom had gross hairs all over the floor and in fact all the floors were so dirty we swept the entire place ourselves just so we could be comfortable there.
-Many things in the unit were broken, which was just annoying: The dishwasher falls out, one railing is detached, the toilet seat slides off and doesn't fit, the bed is very squeaky with just the slightest movement, in addition to a few other things.
-Lacking essentials: There were limited hospitality essentials. The blankets were thin and there was no duvet cover, the towels were limited and rough and barely folded, there were no dishwasher pods, and in general, the place could have used much more hospitality care.
-WiFi: the wifi was VERY weak. It did work, but only for the most basic tasks.
Overall, it's a shame that it seems very little care was put into making this space nicer and more hospitable, because the locations and aesthetic are truly special. It's possible, despite all the frustrations, we still might stay here again. But also, maybe not.
