Alain met us upon arrival, assisted us with carrying our bags up the stairs and gave a brisk and thorough walk-through of the place and the operation of various items throughout the house.
The last guest had damaged the oven knob so we were not able to use that during our stay, but we made good use of the coffeepot as well as the stovetop for our cooking needs.
He also returned with extra toilet paper although we purchased our own paper towels and Kleenex.
The rain-head shower was delightful with full pressure and great temperatures. The beds were comfy and even the sofa bed was sufficient; there were plenty of linens and bedding for our use and having a laundry machine was fabulous!
There was a slight issue with the fridge - it had a very strong unpleasant odor - every time we opened it the entire front room smelled terrible. Alain was immediate in his response and as he was ill, we purchased baking soda to absorb the odor. I want to note that the fridge was clean, but perhaps had not been deodorized. We were not able to discover from where the odor emitted. Alain was kind enough to credit a small amount to our account for the inconvenience of both the odor and the inoperable oven.
The location was also superior - very close to two main metro stations, a grocery store, bakery and also plenty of restaurants with a large variety of ethnic cuisines.
It was also a lively street and sounds of revelry could be heard into the wee hours - it helped immensely to close the windows upon retiring to bed.
Overall, we were all extremely pleased with the home and would definitely stay there again.
