The area outside had some sketchy people, but not bad overall. China town is very close by, a couple of blocks away. Also, it's not far to other areas as well, such as the Old Port.

Local was central to sight seeing. What would have been good is having a basic starter pack e.g milk sugar etc. there was no information on public transportation or places to visit or restaurants, this would have been very beneficial. Kettle require descaling as not pleasant inside. No instructions on how to use electric goods. Accomodation was good value for money and there was plenty of toiletries. We would use accommodation again if visiting Montréal.

4/10 Fair

The property was close to downtown, however, there were a lot of people without homes in the neighbourhood often yelling. The entranceway and the elevator were not clean. There was mould in the tile in the bathroom. The fitted sheet did not fit on the bed and kept coming off, the Wi-Fi password we were given was incorrect, we paid an exorbitant amount of money to stay in that property on busy and popular weekend in Montreal. It was ridiculous.

Great location. Obviously extremely convenient for convention centre access. Communication lacked a little. We were short on coffee pods (enough for 2 days, what about the rest of the week?), had to purchase our own. We very much enjoyed the stay and will come back when next time in Montreal !

Place is getting run down. Bathroom door off hinge and unable to fix, grout missing in bathroom, no toilet paper holder, no creamer for coffee pods that come in room. Extremely small bathroom!!! Felt unsafe outside of building with all of the homeless hanging around during the day and sleeping on all of the benches out front. Was given 2 addresses for parking lots in the area, one of those was closed which left us not much choice of where to park. On the other hand, great central location to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Internet wasn’t working, which was maddening since we wanted to plan our activities and meals.

If you have any event at the Palais des congrès de Montréal this is the place to stay. You are one block from the Metro two blocks from Chinatown and a block from the convention center.

The room was very comfortable & the place was quiet. Friendly & helpful staff. The carpet walking up to the desk could use some cleaning.

The room itself was pretty good, and clean. Location was convenient. But the air conditioning did not seem to work, nor did the WiFi Access. I sent a message about both during my 3 night stay but never heard back.

Very cute in a pretty good location can usually walk to everything we only took metro once, I liked how there was multiple security measures, one thing I would note is the front had a lot of in housed people, though this did not bother us or put a factor on the stay, they were a little loud at night but still slept fine

What we loved most was the location of the apartment. Central to many great areas, shops, restaurants, and the metro. The building is directly across from a mission that serves unhoused people. There were often some near the entrance to the apartment, but we had no problems and never felt uncomfortable. Other positives were that the apartment itself was good for the price. It is updated, with a nice (although small) kitchen. Kitchen was stocked with a few basic kitchen essentials, but would not work well if you plan to cook all meals. It was very clean. The apartment is small, so more than two guests would be tight. (Only two chairs at the table. Very small bathroom. etc.) The hotel staff was around during the day, and they were helpful when we needed something. A few things we didn't love were that the sofa bed is VERY uncomfortable, and we don't recommend using unless very short term. The door from the bedroom to the bathroom was broken, so privacy was an issue. There is one small towel bar in the bathroom, and no counter or cabinet space or hooks for towels. Also, the wifi in the unit wasn't working. We were given access to the unit's next door, but it was weak. Our last morning, electricity was out. Not the faulty of the property. However, we had to use the stairs to exit the building. The stairway had no emergency lighting and was dirty, and smelly. Challenging with 2 big suitcases from the 5th floor. Over all a pleasant stay.

Black hairs in bedsheets and towels and on floors. Fridge made very loud noise from the fan in freezer. Parking half km away. Lots of scary homeless at front door of lobby. One of the chairs looked like someone urinated in it

I think I've filled out this survey before, so I'm hoping to not receive requests for this survey again. The room was beyond everything I hoped for. It was wonderful. The only problem was that the most recent email I received before checking in had the incorrect code for the front door.

We primarily book this property for its proximity to the Montreal Congress site, but were ultimately pleased with the property & amenities. The information conveyed was easy to understand and the staff friendly and helpful. Metro close by. Old Montreal a short 10 min walk. All that we needed for our 5 night stay.

The apartment itself was fairly clean and well maintained, though there were three major issues we experienced during our stay. The AC unit leaks water and has been for a while as there’s water damage to the floor boards beneath. We used the garbage can in the washroom to collect the water but it was quite annoying hearing the constant dripping throughout the night when you’re trying to sleep. There should also be a disclaimer prior to booking that there is an extensive booking/confirming process. Once you’ve booked your stay through Expedia here, you have to send them photo ID and explain the reason for your stay. We didn’t know this as we hadn’t received the email until arrival. We were very confused where it was, and how to get in because the door was locked with a passcode. After an hour or so of walking around we finally found the number to call in order to get more information. This process is super unorganized and inefficient. Please put this information in the description of the property before booking to make it easier!!

Great location as we just parked the car and walked everywhere. Apartment was large & easily accommodated a family of 5. Was very clean & when we needed more coffee pods we asked & were given some. Area has homeless people near, but they did not bother us. All in all, a fantastic location & we’d stay there again!

The contact phone number on the confirmation did not reach anyone. I did not receive any check-in instructions or entry codes by email as was promised. I had to have a friend walk to the hotel to locate a functioning phone number which was posted on the door.

We were so impressed. Spacious, lots of natural light, stove, fridge, washer, dryer, all conveniences. Easy access with codes. The apartment was so close to Montreal sites. 650 to the Basilica de Notre Dame. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.
