Saint-Cléophas-de-Brandon Holidays from £790

Large, sparsely furnished apartment with comfortable beds, grimy plates and mugs, washer and dryer in the bathroom, nice big bathtub, balcony and a fire escape and good view of the street below. Painted an ugly beige. Could be improved by a few colorful pillows and better art. Stairwell dirty. But solid, nice old building. Was a snafu with them not sending the door code until asked a second time, but then they sent it. Best deal for staying in the neighborhood we wanted to stay in.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay. The apartment was infested with bed bugs and management was unresponsive and irresponsible. Check in time was supposed to be at 4pm but when we arrived at 6pm, the apartment was not cleaned when we checked in. There was garbage in the bins, and the bed and mattress were even off the bed frames. Management did response when we notified them that the apartment was not cleaned on the first night and sent someone to come and clean the apartment. However, the next night we noticed a small black insect crawling on the bed covers and upon a closer look it appeared to be a bed bug. We then noticed another one crawling a few feet away on the same bed. There is definitely an infestation because they were pretty big. We immediately notified management that night, expecting management to take the situation seriously and address it appropriately. Unfortunately, management was unresponsive and did not response to my calls or text messages after that. We immediately booked another hotel and left the apartment in the middle of the night. I understand bed bugs issues can of course happen in hotel settings but the fact that management does not response at all is truly disappointing and unprofessional. I will definitely never stay on this property or any other properties owned by this company.

Nice place, I wish I had my family with me.

Seamless check in at this spacious property in a hip section of Montreal. It was like being in French speaking Brooklyn.
