We came over to stay here for our weekend trip to Montreal. The location could not have been better! Great restaurants, shops and coffee stops in the street. The Metro station was also very close by!
The host tries his best to be involved and always checks in to make sure that everything is all right. However, we made some bad experiences that were ultimately not necessarily the hosts fault.
First of all, it would not be recommended to visit this during the really cold times. The room was not isolated enough, we only had a really thin sheet and thus were cold for a longer period during the night. Furthermore, unfortunately the person staying in the other room decided to smoke weed in the corridor which made it a little difficult to roam around freely without the smell. It was a little noisy sometimes but generelly not that loud considering that the building is set right next to a busy street.
I have to add here that the host compensated us for this by refunding the cleaning fee and has apologized for it too - which made the whole experience better and no hard feelings at all! Since the rent wasn't much either I would say keeping all the points in mind, if you just need a place to crash in the summer, we would recommend it.
