le sommier qui grince et matelas hors d'âge

Great location and super clean

Nothing

La chambre était bien équipée et propre, rien à redire à ce niveau. Cependant, l'état du lit était catastrophique : absence de sommier et réparations très précaires.

Le lit était extrêmement inconfortable et bruyant. Le sommier était inexistant et remplacé par une simple planche en bois, maintenue par des renforts de fortune avec des vis qui dépassaient. Je suis très insatisfait de l'état du lit.

Good location in regard to little Italy

Bed was horrible, squeaky as hell, kelt us up at night. The main support under the bed was bent at a 45 degree angle, making the middle of the bed sag.

Quiet, including the wall mounted air conditioner. Very good location, with EV charging just at the end of the block. We did not have trouble finding free street parking a few blocks west. Building is across the street from an excellent Italian restaurant. Fine bakery just a couple of blocks.

Unit 403 smelled of smoke. Faint, and really only noticeable when we opened the door. On the other hand, it's in the back of the building, so no traffic noise.

I spent most of my time in Outremont and Mile End, so the location was perfect for me. I had to take the Metro to and from the train station, but the rest was walkable. The apartment was comfortable and had lots of amenities - I especially liked the Nespresso machine for coffee in the mornings, the fridge for drinks and snacks, and the TV with integrated streaming apps. I arrived late at night, so the self check-in was very convenient. Communication from the host was frequent and helpful.

I was a little uncomfortable with the screening process - a background-check seems extreme for a 2-night stay - but it wasn't a big problem. My only other complaint is that the 10:00am check-out was too early. I am used to checking-out at 11:00am or 12:00pm, and it was a bit of an inconvenience to leave earlier in the morning and carry my bags around. The host did offer to let me leave my bags in the room until later in the day, but it didn't work with my schedule to come back in the afternoon to retrieve them. An extra hour before check-out would have helped a lot.

Comfy bed and pillows, strong shower, fun neighbourhood, all the basic facilities you need.

It’s just so small that some things feel awkward- I kept whacking my leg on the bed end because it’s such a squeeze to get to the window to shut the blinds, the fridge and freezer door can’t open the whole way which makes it hard to use the freezer, there isn’t even a good place for the toilet paper cause the bathroom is just so small lol. The stairwell is even smaller than normal stairwells. I really didn’t like that the railing stopped short of the top of the stairs. I have a knee injury and it’s stressful to navigate stairs without a rail.
