This has to be the worst Airbnb I ever stayed in, let's go over.
The Good:
*Arnaud was responsive to all my questions.
*The Airbnb itself is nice and it was clean.
*It's not close to downtown or anything but it's 15 minutes walk from the nearest train or you
can walk downtown. We walked one time and it took about 1 hr to get to the lively downtown Montreal section. The Bixi bike share station is a 5-10 minute walk from the Airbnb and you can take that also to get downtown, which we used one day also.
*If you are driving there is plenty of street parking, you can literally park right in front of the building but be aware of the signs, you usually have to leave by 9AM (at least on the road the Airbnb is on).
*During the day, parts of this neighborhood are really nice and pleasant to walk around.
The Bad:
*This neighborhood at night is terrible. There are crackheads and prostitutes literally right outside the building (maybe even inside of it).
*We stayed here for 3 nights and had a bad experience every night.
***Night 1: We dropped off our bikes at the nearest Bixi station around 11pm Friday night and we're walking to the Airbnb, we noticed that some man was following us (me and my wife) around every corner, he stopped following us when we looked back at him for an extended period of time. Needless to say this was uncomfortable.
**Night 2: Instead of biking back we drove back, when we were entering the Airbnb building some lady walked by us and dropped a bag of crack right in in front of us. Then that night, around 2AM we heard some noises in the hallway that woke us up, we then heard a noise pretty close to the Airbnb front door, it was very uncomfortable, we had no idea what/who it was. We then got up and immediately turned on the lights. Coincidentally when we got up and turned on the lights the noise stopped and after a few minutes we heard footsteps scurrying away. From our past experiences we know leaving the light on will deter people from bothering you at night so we slept that night with the light on (and the next night too).
**Night 3: There was a lot of activity going on at night in the alleyway, which is right next to the building, crackheads screaming randomly, making noise that wakes you up, prostitutes running around. Driving back that night right around the corner of the Airbnb we saw a women crackhead/prostitute out of her mind roaming the streets.

Overall, this Airbnb was not good. I do not recommend this place to any person or family, this neighborhood during the night is unsafe, dangerous and uncomfortable, you will not feel welcomed. We could not wait to check out this place.
