Mewe’s airb&b is very well decorated and comfortable with all the things you’ll need for your stay. With that being said we did have some issues that came up because Mewe was not completely upfront about the situation at the airb&b. The listing had “parking on the premise” as one of the amenities but then it turned out it was only on street parking that was 2 blocks away from the apartment. Mewe was very responsive when this issue arose and and sent a map etc to show us where to park as well as for the last two days redirected the work going on in the courtyard so we could park at the apartment.
The next issue was the construction- the entire street was closed down and fenced off making it difficult to access the apartment and certainly wouldn’t have been safe for the elderly, children, or anyone with mobility issues. Mewe did mention in his message (only a few days before our visit) that there was “reconstruction” which we assumed was some minor construction- not to the extent it made it physically difficult to get into the apartment. They were redoing the sidewalks and we had to step through rebar and only use the back door at points because they were pouring concrete outside the front. The construction was also extremely loud and woke us up at 615am the first morning and was loud the rest of our stay as well. We let Mewe know of the issues and he pointed out under the “health & safety” section there was a small disclaimer that there was some noise but it was not a section someone would normally check - nor would they assume that that means they’d wake up to a jack hammer directly outside their window. Mewe did give us a small discount which was appreciated because of this.
All this being said the problem solving by Mewe was appreciated but it felt somewhat disingenuous because the problems were something that he was not upfront with to start. If he had been we could have chosen if we wanted to deal with these things or not. I’m sure normally it is a great stay and a wonderful spot in Montreal - but I would recommend checking if the construction is done or not before you book your stay at the moment.
