Great value, exactly as advertised.
Jun 27, 2019Notre séjour chez Carlito s'est bien passé dans l'ensemble. L'appartement est bon marché et très bien placé. Le quartier est calme. Petit bémol pour la cuisine, très peu équipée, il était donc très compliqué de se faire à manger. Bon séjour dans l'ensemble :)
Jun 27, 2019Bel appartement dans un joli quartier. Propre
Jun 27, 2019Great area in the university section of Montreal, walkable to everything.
Jul 27, 2019Carl's place is in an older, unrenovated high-rise, but the apartment is tidy and spacious as the photos show, and Carl is adding improvements all the time. The bed is new and the sheets are fresh. My husband and I wanted to stay near McGill University and this was a great budget option. The metro was only a 5 minute walk away and the Plateau is a few miles walk each way. The kitchen has a toaster and electric kettle. If you want to cook hot meals, you would have to bring all the basics, like cooking oil and salt and pepper, but . I really liked how close the apartment was to cute coffee shops and it's right next door to an excellent little vegetarian restaurant and a small used bookshop. Check-in was super easy and flexible with my needs. Carl was always ready to help when I had any questions and his hospitality is among the best I have received from an Airbnb host. Thanks Carl!
Jun 27, 2019I was so grateful to be able to book Carl's apartment on the day I arrived in Montréal, after my previous plan fell apart. Carl responded very quickly and made it possible for me to get to the apartment with no delay. The building is older, but the apartment itself is warm and cozy. The bed was comfortable, and the living room very pleasant. I did not really cook during my stay there, but I could have, as there was everything needed. Carl provided me with breakfast essentials (tea, instant coffee, and even nutella), which was so nice. The location is perfect, especially if you want to visit McGill university. You can walk to so many places, the location is central. I will stay there again if the place is available when I come back to Montréal.
Jun 27, 2019Great host, the location is a 7 minute walk to the groceries. Lots of bars to go to very close to the strip and anything you need.
Jun 27, 2019This place is for people who need a place to sleep and be on their way. Pretty good location, complimentary parking spot was helpful.
Jun 27, 2019Great host and very responsive. The apartment is in a fairly central location in Montreal near plenty of restaurants, cafes, and other shops. Quite accessible by public transport. Carl was responsive regarding any issues we had. spacious and sunny living room. Apartment is ideal if you want to cook for yourself. Highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019Carl's place is in the residential area of McGill. It is a good location, especially given the price. The place itself is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Our only real complaint is that the unit is quite cold and the heating didn't work properly - so it made our winter stay somewhat difficult. However overall, Carl was a great host who made check in and out very easy, and we'd recommend this place to anyone who is travelling on a budget, and won't mind that the place is a little worn in.
Jun 27, 2019Great host and available for any accommodations you might need! Definitely staying again!
Jun 27, 2019The location of the apartment is absolutely ideal. The apartment itself is perfect, meets exactly the needs we had for our travels. Carl is super nice and always available.
Jun 27, 2019Communicates fast! Easy check in, check out. Loved the decor in the place. Very kind host. Good location.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, cozy!
Jun 27, 2019The location is amazing! It's close to everything and really easy to get to and from. The unit itself is charming and perfect for a weekend getaway of touring around. Carl was really helpful and accessible, responding to our messages within minutes and going above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip. We would definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed staying at here for a week! The place is newlly renovated with great furnitures. The location is very convenient. 1 min walk to McGill campus and 5 mins walk to Av Du Parc. I would like to visit this place again if I have a chance!
Jun 27, 2019Provided wrong wifi network/password on page, eventually found on back of router and that's why chromcast wouldn't work! Everything else was great!!!!
Jun 27, 2019Close to everything. Montreal was very walkable in general. Friendly host. Check-in process was also easy. Only complaint was leftover hair on linens.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Carl's place. It's a wonderful location, quiet building, plus a pool and parking. Very clean apt. Responses were quick and helpful.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, right near metro station/McGill/downtown. Carl is a great host, very quick to respond, super informative and provides great restaurant recommendations. Would highly recommend staying here!
Jun 27, 2019Carl’s place has a great location and was really nice and clean inside. Carl was quick to reply if we had any questions as well.
Jun 27, 2019The place was the same in the picture, it’s hard to find a parking slot around the area, it took us 30-45 mins before we find a slot coz it’s in Downtown Montreal. There were some garbage at the porch but we don’t mind coz we’re not using it. It turned us off when the host asking us for addition 50 dollars cleaning fee coz the cleaning service told him that we left the space “really messy.” Few cups of Timmys left on the table coz the bins were too small that’s the mess that we created and it’s not worth 50 dollars to pick those up. Disappointed on our stay.
Jun 27, 2019Convenient location, clean, great value, and great hosts! If you care about water pressure and temperature like I do, you will love this place. Better water pressure than my own house and so quick to get hot water!!! Carl and his co-host were very attentive and were ready to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The apartment is in a university area so it’s lively and there are many great eateries nearby. Subway and buses are very close too, but if you like walking you can walk to Old Montreal in 20 minutes while enjoying the scenic old streets and getting good coffee and sweets on your way. The wifi signal was a bit weak but the hosts were aware of it and tried to fix the issue. Overall I recommend this place to everyone!
Jun 27, 2019Réactivité parfaite échange en temps réel sur le site... Carl nous a gardé nos bagages le dernier jour un gros + quand vous avez l'avion en debut de soirée. Situation géographique parfaite pour visiter Montréal
Jun 27, 2019Its just as the pictures show!! And he is very helpful!!
Jun 27, 2019I recommend this apartment to anybody who is visiting Montreal!
Jun 27, 2019Carl was very helpful are friendly, the apartment was as expected. Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019Excellent location and friendly host who is accommodating. It is very close to everything, but the place desperately needs some deep cleaning, because the first thing that greets a guest is a stale food smell that won't go away. Kitchen in general including utensils was downright dirty. Not bad, but not a five star residence.
Jun 27, 2019Tarek's place is very well located and close to everything you want to see in Montreal. Tarek was very responsive and had great restaurant recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019Great place for a weekend in Montreal! Very close to McGill and other cool neighborhoods, walk-able to great restaurants and sites. Tarek was a fantastic host and had great recommendations!
Jun 27, 2019Carl is very kind, and quick with responses! Home was very clean! Grabbing the key from a dark alley way was nerve racking. Other than that, host was very kind!
Jun 27, 2019Great place for a weekend getaway in Montreal. Within walking distance to many shops/restaurants/clubs. Had a very easy check in.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, super friendly host, everything was as expected. Would stay here again 100%
Jun 27, 2019This was my first experience with living at an AirBnb over a hotel. Carl's place is conveniently located right next to McGill university. Carl was always very responsive when required. I would recommend this to those who are considering a stay in Montreal.
Jun 27, 2019was fine really and affordable with a good location. could use a deep clean and some extra bedding if it sleeps 5
Jun 27, 2019Great spot close to the centre of MTL. Perfect for a weekend getaway.
Jun 27, 2019Great place at a great location! The apartment itself is quite old but Carl makes the best out of it: new furniture, very clean and comfi bed. Also Carl was very helpful with everything and very fast responding.
Jun 27, 2019Great communication Carl really tried to accommodate our needs. Great location
Jun 27, 2019We liked to stay at the property: good location close to downtown and McGill U, clean apartment, quiet, comfortable bed. We used kitchen to make breakfast and dinner for our family. A swimming pool with a sauna were available (unfortunately we did have time to enjoy it), quite spacious balcony.
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful host who is quick to help with everything. Great location near McGill - quiet and enjoyable.
Jun 27, 2019Carl's place was in a great location, walking distance to downtown and cool bars/restaurants. Carl made the check in process super easy. The air conditioner was a lifesaver with the humidity during the night.
Jun 27, 2019Carl was very available and always answered quickly. The apartment itself was nice and tidy, and located in a good neighbourhood with shops and markets nearby. A good place to stay !
Jun 27, 2019Recommended for the location, so close to downtown and Mont Royal Park. The apartment has all you need for an easy stay. The decor is not quite as sparkly as in the photos and the taps drip, stuff like that, but otherwise we had everything we needed and Carl is an excellent host who is very quick to respond to messages and was very helpful in arranging parking for us.
Jun 27, 2019Had a great time (stayed only 2 nights) in Montreal. Apartment is located in student district, spacious, huge tv and small kitchen. Would recommend for short stays!
Jun 27, 2019The location of this place is great (very central) and Carl was a good host: the communication went well and we very much appreciated his flexibility around the check-in and check-out times. But we were sorely disappointed with the apartment in itself. Why? Because while the pictures correspond to what we were looking for, the actual place did not: the state of renovation is far from being as good as suggested by the description and pictures (ex: there was a big hole in the bathroom door, by the doorknob, that was filled with kitchen paper, and that is just one example); the place could use a deep clean and we were greeted by a hospital smell that we could not get rid of during our stay. If you are seduced by the idea of using the pool, beware: we love swimming and were planning to use it but did not because its cleanliness was very questionable (there were for example what seemed to be dead spiders at the bottom of it). This place is for people who want a place to sleep and be on their way.
Jun 27, 2019Great location but be ready to be in student housing. Good wifi. Nice furniture. But really old bathroom and kitchen. Very responsive host
Jun 27, 2019Local extremamente bem localizado. Indicado para viagens curtas ou longas. Gostamos muito da hospedagem e recepção com a ajuda de Carl.
Jun 27, 2019This was in a perfect location, the apartment was a bit less boujee than the pictures made it seem but it was perfect for us and our stay!
Jun 27, 2019I do not recommend this place at all. The pictures are so misleading. It looks luxurious, it is nothing but. I so wish I could add in my own pictures, the actually reality of what this place looks like, for exemple an improperly installed bathroom door knob stuffed with toilet paper, and with visible screws. Filth on the walls, on the fan. A flimsy piece of plastic/cardboard in the top part of the window were the AC unit is installed. It felt so unsafe we did not leave any valuables every time we left the Airbnb. 2 towels for 5people for 3days 2nights (that includes the hand towel and then there is no mat for coming out of the shower, so basically that leaves no towels for showers, we used our own towels we’d brought for swimming) and when I asked for more towels that did nothappen , I was ignored completely on that request. But we ended up using our own towels, because we saw a beautiful pool in the pictures. Well turns out the pool wasn’t as expected at all. It was too cold to swim and the place looked like it was in need of repairs (holes in the ceiling) just bad! The dresser had a broken drawer bottom, when I attempted to open the closet in the bedroom the knob came off in my hand, the closet door wasn’t on right and difficult to manage. The toilet didn’t flush properly, the bathroom sink was leaking and the caulking in the bathroom was coming apart and either dirty or moldy. The walls were filthy, I could see where posters had been on those walls in the past. Gross. This is so dishonest. This is not right. Awful. Awful. Awful. You want to rent your place, that’s fine. Don’t need to steal from honest people. Just sell what you have to offer, don’t mislead people and on top of it bully them into giving you a five star 5 rating. I paid. Therefor I have paid my right to say my honest opinion and I don’t want anyone else to get ripped off by you.
Jun 27, 2019It is a clean and comfortable place to live and the host reply the message very fast. Especially the location is very convenient to travel most of the tourist spot. My family and I had a good time staying there.
Jun 27, 2019Location may be what you are looking for; be sure to inquire and make arrangements in advance for parking and for key access prior to booking to ensure that the process fits your expectations. Host communication is great and issues are attended to immediately.
Jun 27, 2019We booked this Airbnb for a group of 4 guests. Check-in was a fast and easy process. Upon arrival we were very satisfied with how neat, and clean the furniture and apartment were. We enjoyed the location - walking distance to major sites of the city (St. Laurent, downtown Montreal, Mount-Royal Hiking Trail, and 10mins drive to Old Port Montreal). Carl was very helpful in providing us with suggestions on places to visit/dine, and responded fast to calls and texts! Furniture was nice, one bedroom with a bed and couch, living room with pull out couch, tv, and dining table, kitchen and patio available. The infrastructure of apartment and building was a bit old. Apartment was located in a safe area to walk in at night. Overall, we had an amazing stay, and would recommend it to anyone for short-stays.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, but needs maintenance.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect location for our visit to McGill for their open house! We were comfortable and enjoyed the neighborhood very much. Plug for Lola Rosa restaurant!!!! Carl's place was just what we needed! Carl was very good at communicating and kept in touch throughout our visit. Make sure you get all his texts/messages before you arrive so you are informed about parking and access to the apartment. We drove from quite a distance and couldn't download all of them before we arrived...all worked out just fine. Thanks for a great weekend in Montreal!
Jun 27, 2019Carl’s place is walking distance to everywhere you want to visit in Montréal. It is a little bit smaller and less luxurious than it seems in the pictures, as it is a student residece.But overall it was a pleasant trip if you are looking for home one person or even more.
Jun 27, 2019i had a nice stay at Carl’s place! The communication was perfect, the check in easy. The house was super clean, the bed was very comfortable. The location is also good, close to the subway, stores. The little patio is perfect if you smoke. I recommend this place!
Jun 27, 2019This is a wonderful place to stay! Great layout, very clean, within easy walking distance to everything. Carl is a kind and responsive host, I always try to stay at one of his locations when I'm in Montreal.
Jun 27, 2019A good host. an old apartment and smaller than i expected .
Jun 27, 2019Logement très bien situé, à proximité du centre-ville !
Jun 27, 2019Excellent
Jun 27, 2019It’s a nice place to stay!!
Jun 27, 2019My friend and I had a great time staying at Carl's place! As other reviewers have said, it's a nice place with some old features but the location, responsiveness from host and parking all make up for that! The decor is new and modern and the bed was really comfortable! I would definitely stay here again (maybe in the summer when it's not so cold)! Also check-in and check-out were SO easy and convenient!
Jun 27, 2019The place was just how it looked like in the pictures. The balcony was actually very spacious. The TV also had Spotify and YouTube on it, so it was perfect as we didn’t need to use our speakers to listen to music. Very close to McGill as well as shopping and a SAQ (liquor store).
Jun 27, 2019The photos are misleading - the apartment is old and fairly shabby with new Ikea furniture. Also - it's freezing (my phone said inside temp was 12 degrees C)! We cranked the heat and I still could not sleep because I was so cold. I almost wore my coat to bed. I wish I had. For the location (close to McGill) and the price point, I'm not surprised. It's an old building that desperately needs updating. Some fairly simple repairs are neglected in favour of shoving plastic bags and toilet paper into crevices or hiding them behind paintings. If you're only worried about location and price, it's a decent place to stay (maybe not in winter though). We were just looking for a warm place to wait out a snow storm and unfortunately we were very disappointed since we were still so cold! Check in was a breeze and Carl was very quick to respond and easily reached.
Jun 27, 2019Nous sommes resté-e-s 2 jours à Montréal. Thanks to Carl ! Il a été réactif et à adapter tant le check in que le check out. Il s'est soucié que nous soyons à notre aise !
Jun 27, 2019Nice
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Exactly as described. Great value for price point. Great communication with hosts. Very comfortable stay. Would stay here again or recommend in a heartbeat.
Jun 27, 2019Location is great, perfect and close to downtown areas! Would recommend to all
Jun 27, 2019Good location, good pricing, a little cold at night in the winter but manageable with the extra blankets and radiator. Parking was a bit of an issue but I was assured that it was not usually like that and was accommodated for accordingly. Check in instructions were also a little unclear but the host was able to get in contact and explain them once we had arrived.
Jun 27, 2019The space was exactly as shown in the pictures! It is perfect for a couple that is going down there to explore around as it is very close to everything. Overall great stay, thank you Carl!
Jun 27, 2019Great stay at Carl’s place! Really cute place. Great location too :)
