Great location, excellent price, with a lot of potential but has some urgent issues that need to be resolved.
We stayed at this address from 29/7 to 2/8 2016.
Pros:
1. The owner (Welleed) and his staff are excellent, and very proactive to resolve any issues, and show genuine care for your experience. For instance, when we requested a hair dryer one was dropped by the apartment shortly after.
2. The address has a great location, we were 20 min drive from downtown Montreal which is where we spent most of our time. 10 to 15 minute walk to large shopping centres, pharmacies, parks, laundromats and restaurants.
The neighbourhood is quiet.
3. The apartment is clean enough, and well laid out. The sun room and balcony are particularly useful.
4. The Wifi is fast and reliable.
Cons
1. The unit has electrical problems that the owner has assured us will be looked into by a qualified electrician before the next guests stay. A hair dryer supplied by the owner shorted, and arc flashed while it was in use. We believe that this was because the power point by the oven was faulty, this is being looked into by the owner (see above). We feel Welleed responded appropriately to this matter, meeting us in person to offer a sincere apology and pay for replacement hair dryer and another iron which looked unsafe also. We left these in the unit for future use.
2. The double beds were too hard. Welleed was happy for us to move mattresses around, which helped a bit, but they should be replaced with softer mattresses. Some slats were broken off on the steel single bed frame in the back room. Welleed assured us this will be resolved.
3. Some of the sheets and towels were stained, but they were immediately replaced which is good.
4. Street parking was available on the first night, but each subsequent night we had to park a block away and walk.
This property has potential to be amazing if Welleed and his staff can resolve these issues.
