Other Things to Note:
Awesome Location:
- Perfect for groups - we manage 2 other units in the building, so if you need more space, contact us for a special offer.

- No smoking of any kind inside, please (helps us keep the space fresh for everyone). If smoking is detected, we will have to charge for the deep cleaning of carpets and furniture.

Wonderful

The Host was excellent. The appartment was clean and comfortable and the location was amazing. If you are not comfortable with stairs then this would not be for you. Its off of a busy street so noisy with bars on the weekend but the lication and host are so amazing i would highly recommend. Just bring noise cancelling devices to sleep with.
We really enjoyed the apartment. It was very clean and bright. The neighborhood was not as nice, but there were some fun shops and restaurants very close. The streets were littered with trash and is a very loud area at night because of clubs, Police, nightlife. The nightlife started when we went to bed around around 10 PM. Otherwise it was so much fun. Really everything you wanna see is in such a close proximity to this apartment.
Place is accurate as pictures. There are some marks on the walls and the main bedroom’s door doesn’t close (you have to put something heavy behind the door to keep it shut). The front of the building looks shady but the inside is nice (prime example of dont judge a book by the cover). Other than that it’s beautiful. The bathroom were clean and nice. Lots of beds. The beds were comfortable but the pillows weren’t too much but it’s manageable. Host is amazing. Overall I give 10/10 for the experience, its close to a lot of bars/clubs 2minute walking distance. I recommend you guys to book.
Fantastic stay, so clean, great location, and young-kid proof!!
Upon entrance of our Montréal VRBO, both of my sisters said "Can I just live here? Forever?" Our stay was really great, just wish we could have been there longer. We had 4 children (two 6yo, 4yo, and a 3yo, all cousins) and after a quick walk around and scan, the place appeared safe and unlikely that we could break anything, a HUGE plus when traveling with kids. Location couldn't have been better, we could walk to coffee shops, parks, Schwartz, etc and parking was a breeze (just have to get up to move the car at 7, but you just park around the corner, and grab coffee on the way back!). The beds, pillows, and linens were very comfortable (coming from a picky sleeper), the place was very clean, we were able to make breakfast in the morning and the kids loved the counter "like eating in a restaurant!". The host was very quick to respond when we had questions about parking and the door, everything was resolved quickly. The only less than stellar part was the towels-they were a little musty, but obviously clean.We would definitely stay here again!!

Disappointing
What was meant to be a peaceful and beautiful weekend actually became a stressful weekend. Unfortunately, I was given the wrong code to enter the home therefore was stuck outside as well as the cleanliness in the home not matching the pictures online. It gives so much anxiety knowing with everything going on in the world, cleanliness is the least asked from people nowadays.
