A very nice apartment in a great location with a very friendly and responsive host. We stayed for over 5 weeks and really enjoyed our stay here.
The apartment is very big, with plenty of natural light in the living room. As this is someone's apartment that they usually live in, it's much better equipped than most Airbnbs, you'll especially find everything you might want for cooking or baking and you'll get to enjoy being surrounded by plants and books, plenty of wall decorations, art, etc. You'll also have more than enough bedding, towels, tea towels and all those other small things that are often missing in Airbnbs.
While we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying here, here are a few things that might be helpful to know:
The wifi is good enough for most uses in the living room (around 14 MBps download and 10 upload), but very slow in the bedrooms (which is typical for those very long Montréal apartments). It's also apparently not unlimited, but that wasn't really an issue for us as it reset at the end of the month apparently - Marilyn had reached out to us saying that we had used it all up at the end of the month, but it never stopped working for us.
The (main) bedroom to the back of the apartment is a bit dark, which is, of course, great for sleeping but less ideal if you want to use it as an office (there's a desk with an office chair in the bedroom on top of the 2 tables in the living room). The neighbour's AC turns off and on automatically and can be really noisy (especially around 5 am?), so if you're sensitive to noise, you might need to sleep with closed windows. And, whenever the upstairs neighbour uses their back entrance that goes through the back balcony of this apartment (right next to the bedroom window), it feels like someone is walking right next to your bed - luckily that only happened once or twice in the nighttime.
The living room is on a busy street, which is great for people-watching (we loved sitting in the rocking chair and watching life on the street), but less ideal if you want to open the balcony door for fresh air - the windows are very good, so the noise is not too bad when the windows are closed. You can open the window or the door to the back balcony to get some fresh air without the noise.
Finally, while the bathroom is very big, with a great bathtub and big shower, you can't really adjust any of the settings in the shower (position of the shower head, water pressure) which makes it a bit less ideal, especially if you aren't very tall/don't want to get your hair wet every time you shower.
Again, none of this would stop us from staying there again!
