Stayed here for 8 nights. There are lots of things to like about the property, but unfortunately there are one or two significant negatives as well, which were not clear to us reading the previous reviews.
Pros:
1. The location is great, and almost unbeatable for the price.
2. The apartment is well maintained, and it's clear LivMTL or the hosts have thought carefully regarding every need that might arise in a shortish stay. Tea, coffee, dish soap, laundry detergent, extra trash bag - everything we needed were already there!
3. The extra sofa bed is comfortable.
4. Checkin is seamlessly smooth and the combination locks worked perfectly.
5. The apartment is bright and gets good amount of natural light.
Now to the cons:
1. The place is right above a hookah bar. We had some noise issues until 3 am especially later in the week, which we used the fan to drown out, so it was not that big a deal.
2. However, the bigger issue for us is the smoky/moldy smell inside the apartment, which I suspect is caused due to the AC air inlet somehow picking up the hookah exhausts (we didn't open any windows). It is not unbearable, but it's there and you can't miss it. If your group has someone with asthma or other issues, you might have a bigger concern. This is not directly Liv MTL's fault, and I don't know what they can do about this issue short of possibly having the hookah place shut down, but it was undeniably an issue for us.
