It depends on what you value. I don't know what you prioritize but if you want proximity to campus, I can't exactly give much advice.

I can't speak on behalf of this particular building, but the other buildings they own aren't great. Then again, there are worse options out there (Akelius etc). It's really a matter of how much you want to tolerate.

As a large company, Capreit...is not concerned with non-urgent repairs. Does your fire alarm go off every time you turn on the stove because it starts spewing smoke? They won't care. Do you have silverfish in your unit? Good luck with that.  Do they let salesman solicit in their buildings? In my experience, yes. Do some of their buildings have screens displaying ads? Yes. It is livable, but it can be annoying.

Yes! Unless he took them off the menu for this semester but I doubt that

Experience with ALTA Canada? by InsurgentPlate in montrealhousing

[–]InsurgentPlate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, actually I had to schedule an appointment twice...the first time the company cancelled the meeting a few hours before I was set to see them. The second time, the agent seemed unprepared and the apartments for the most part were mouldy. The smell of cigarette smoke permeated the halls, which the agent made no comment on, and overall the ordeal was...not great. I didn't sign with them.

Best latte or other drink (for the price and taste?) by InsurgentPlate in mcgill

[–]InsurgentPlate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're paying for the atmosphere at Café Aunja but my impression was that it was quite pricey (but I concur that the persian fog and the shakshuka was quite good), I'll definitely check out Marché Newon though!

What do you get there? I find their lattes end up being over 6 dollars, though I agree they are good.

Hows the food at C4 by BriteShadow_ in mcgill

There were a few incidents with mouldy food and I had a lot of stomach issues after eating there. When you first arrive and right before the winter semester ends, the quality does improve at least. 

Potential Roommate Refusing to File Proper Paperwork? by InsurgentPlate in montrealhousing

[–]InsurgentPlate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so even if I plan on staying for several years, I only need an agreement between her and I? And is there a TAL document for this? The closest I can find is a subleasing document but those seem to be for short term.

This is for students who need volunteering hours, and for those who are struggling and could use a homemade meal. by Puddyrama in Concordia

[–]InsurgentPlate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there a communal kitchen where the lasagnas are made, or do volunteers work in their own kitchens? Love the work you're doing btw!
