Mina is very nice and the homestay is cozy.
however, one should be notified about lack of electricity before they enter a "partially refundable" deal, maybe by some kind of recent update feature on airbnb rental entry description. secondly, in a cold place like montréal, homestays should keep some alternative light source, no matter how robust the local infrastructure is.
one washing machine in the common bathroom can only be used with host's aid and the other one on that floor is personal. this kind of restriction should be described somewhere.
