Short version – STAY AWAY!. This place is awful. Once you get inside you will realize that it is all about selling the place through their pictures. You are told you cannot smoke anything in the place, which I am fine with as I don’t smoke. However, once you open the door into the apartment you step into an apartment previously lived in by a smoker. The place reeks of old tobacco smoke which is so ingrained into everything there is no hope this will ever go away.
Besides that, then there are all the other things. Windows are siliconed shut so you cannot get any fresh air, many light bulbs are burned out so you can barely see anything in the place at night. The kitchen is a disaster with a cutlery drawer missing even the most basic tools, like stirring spoons, and a mismatch of a few knives rattling around in a single drawer makes up the rest of your utensils. No pan and not even something basic like some pepper, salt or a can opener for that matter. Also, the counter featured a broken coffeemaker and another one in a cabinet which was so small you could only make 1 mug of coffee. The host did provide a third coffee maker so at least we had that. Throughout the place there are lamps which either have broken, are out bulbs, or nowhere near to plug them in.
The garbage strategy in Moncton is to sort the garbage into three bags, a clear, a blue and a green. I don’t mind doing that, but the host could not even bother putting up some garbage cans for each type, so you end you with bags of garbage laying around. Also, there were no clear bags in the apartment and despite us asking for some we never got them.
Linen is crumbled and the place feels dirty. The windows have not been washed for a very long time, so they are hard to see out of. The area is in the rougher part of town and there frequently are police and ambulances in the streets near-by.
Go here at your own peril.
