My boyfriend and I (with our dog) stayed at the loft for four days/three nights in late April.

The positives:
The loft itself is a beautiful raw space in a lovely (and very secure) building. Amazing windows and light. The general neighborhood in Montreal is nice, and centrally located to the metro, museums, Chinatown, etc. One note is that it's a little far from most grocery stores.
The loft looks true to the photographs, and all the basics are in the kitchen. For the size and location of the space, the nightly rate is a great value.

The negatives:
While initial communication with the host went fine, it became somewhat detached leading up to the reservation. We were already en route to the Montreal and still hadn't received check-in details, which was a troubling. We never met Kim, but were asked to text Salah for our check-in details, while on the road. Communication with Salah was also tricky, and we ran into difficulty finding parking and wifi logins as a result. Given that we arrived after midnight, we would have welcomed more thorough and helpful correspondence from our host. We ended up driving for about 30 minutes trying to find a place to park, as the directions we were given were incomplete (and there aren't many people on the street that you can ask for recommendations that late).

The space also would benefit from a better cleaning service. When we arrived, the previous guest's soiled towels and sheets were still in the washer, old soap was still in the bathroom, and dirty dishes were still in the dishwasher. It made me wonder if the sheets had even been changed! With that said, it wasn't anything that couldn't be remedied, but not exactly how you want to start your vacation when you're arriving quite late.

Overall a good value, but the guest experience could use a little TLC.
