For a family with kids ranging in age from 5-11 we didn’t find this place ideal. The upside was the easy check-in and the close proximity to the mountain. The host was also very nice and easy to communicate with. The downsides included the following:
-Hallways smelled like marijuana and cigarette smoke most of the time.
-The plateau location is awesome but we found it a bit far from the metro station during Winter with kids. In the summer the walk would be fine.
-The main seat cushion constantly fell off the couch (not a big deal but got annoying putting it back on constantly for the kids while we were trying to relax after long days of sight seeing).
-The toilet was visibly dirty when we arrived.
-We were required to take out the garbage and recycling, which required walking it around the block to the alley before check-out. I’ve never had to do that before in an Airbnb and we were warned of a $100 fee if we didn’t take it out.
-We didn’t feel super comfortable after being warned a couple times of fees if we messed anything up - just makes for a less relaxed stay even though we treat Airbnb rentals very respectfully.
-Also we did have to strip the sheets as well. Perhaps the cleaning fee was lower at this place - I can’t recall, but again, something I’ve never been required to do at an Airbnb before.
We did enjoy our stay as we LOVE Montreal and the Plateau but just found ourselves a bit uneasy there with the above mentioned things and the beds were, as mentioned by other reviewers, quite firm. In the future I will stay elsewhere when travelling with the kids, but for adults who need a place to rest their head and really want to be on the plateau, it is decent value as some other places close by are more expensive.
