Unsafe, uncomfortable, and handled extremely poorly
Cons:

Do not stay here under any circumstances if safety and basic support from the host matter to you.
We stayed for one night and the experience was extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. The internet did not work despite the listing advertising “high speed internet”. An air conditioner made a loud noise, released smoke, and left the common area smelling strongly of smoke. The property became very hot, the fan in one room stopped working, and there was no hot water at night or the next morning.
However, the worst part was not only the broken facilities, but the complete lack of care from the host. When we raised these issues, no serious effort was made to resolve them or make us feel safe or comfortable. Instead, we were told “it’s all very unfortunate” and “you can figure it out though I have no doubt about it”, followed by an inappropriate emoji.
The area also felt extremely unsafe for visitors. We parked legally on the street as instructed, and a member of our group was verbally abused by nearby residents. They yelled at her, questioned why we were there because of our Ontario licence plates, and came so close that she feared she may be physically hit. This completely ruined our evening and made us feel unsafe returning to the property.
When we later raised our concerns again, the host sent an incredibly offensive message saying they did not want to “waste time” and suggested a “mental institution” may be better suited for us.
This was one of the worst experiences we have had. The property had multiple serious issues, the host was dismissive and insulting, and the surrounding area did not feel safe at all as visitors from outside Quebec. I strongly recommend avoiding this accommodation.

Pros:

Easy to find, clean. Well equipped kitchen with nice coffee tabs. Nice park near by with a wharf serviced by boat transport which takes you for free to two locations including center Montréal.

Cons:

Ac didnt work in our room. Hopefully it will get fixed. A bit far from the airport.

J’ai l’impression d’être piégée . Horrible comme expérience.
Cons:

Je déconseille fortement ce logement aux familles. L’appartement est divisé en plusieurs petites chambres louées à différents occupants, très proches les unes des autres, avec une salle de bain commune. L’intimité est pratiquement inexistante.

Nous avons également vécu un moment très désagréable lorsque le gérant, qui réside lui-même dans l’une des chambres, est passé en caleçon alors que nous étions en train de souper avec nos enfants. Cette situation nous a mis très mal à l’aise.

Dans l’ensemble, le logement ne correspond pas à ce que nous recherchions pour un séjour familial et nous ne le recommandons pas aux familles avec enfants.

Absolute Disaster
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

⭐ 0/5 — ZERO STARS. Would give negative if I could.

Let me paint you a picture of my absolute disaster of a stay at this glorified cave: I booked for 2 nights, paid in full, showed up with reasonable expectations (electricity, perhaps?), and left after Day 1 like a refugee fleeing a sinking ship.

The unit had NO POWER. Not a flicker. Not a dim glow. Complete, total, pitch-black darkness — because apparently functioning electrical wiring is considered a "premium upgrade" here. I couldn't shower properly, couldn't charge my phone, couldn't see my hand in front of my face. This is not a hotel stay. This is a camping trip I did NOT sign up for.

The host? Completely unreachable. Ghost mode activated. I called, texted, probably sent smoke signals — nothing. Zero. Silence louder than the darkness in that room.

When this clown FINALLY surfaced, instead of a single syllable of apology or any attempt to fix the disaster HE rented me, he had the sheer audacity — the UNHINGED NERVE — to blame ME. Apparently, turning on the AC (a unit HE provided, in a building HE manages) caused a "fuse to blow up." So according to this genius, the GUEST is responsible for his building's catastrophically inadequate electrical infrastructure. Absolutely jaw-dropping logic.

So let me get this straight: I paid for a fully-functioning unit, got a dark box, was abandoned by the host, forced to find and pay for a SECOND hotel out of my own pocket, got blamed for HIS broken property, and — the cherry on top of this catastrophe sundae — HE HAS STILL NOT REFUNDED ME FOR THE NIGHT I DID NOT STAY.

This is not just bad hospitality. This is theft dressed up in a listing with nice photos.

Do yourself a favour and book literally anywhere else. A park bench has better infrastructure and the squirrels won't bill you for it.

Read this review before you book
Pros:

Absolutely Nothing

Cons:

The room temperature was fixed at 24°C, which was extremely hot and uncomfortable. The window was broken and wouldn’t stay open, there was no fan, and the thermostat was locked, leaving me with no way to adjust the temperature. I contacted the host about this but received no response.

Additionally, the property has four bedrooms sharing just one washroom, which is highly inconvenient. The lighting system is fully sensor-based and kept turning off every few minutes with no manual switches available, making basic activities like eating very frustrating. There were also cameras throughout the property, which felt invasive and made the stay very uncomfortable.

The bed itself was in very poor condition. The mattress was old and visibly worn out, with a noticeable sag in the middle that made it uncomfortable to sleep on. It felt sunken in and did not provide proper support at all.

Overall, the lack of basic amenities, poor maintenance, and unresponsive host made the stay unacceptable. I’m never coming back to this place
