Tremendous value: beautiful common space, comfortable beds, and great location. One catch: lack of private bathroom.
Dave and Clara's place is on the second floor of a two-story apartment. The Saint-Roch area is very hip and was great for our group of six college boys. There are plenty of cool shops (especially if you are a musician!). Rue St. Joseph is three blocks away and has a great selection of bars and restaurants. The Grand Allee, a beautiful must-see street with nightclubs galore, is a 20 minute walk (getting there is more difficult as it is an uphill walk, making the trip home much easier).
The kitchen is very well equipped (spices!!!) , and we cooked dinner one night and ate in style and comfort. Great stereo system and board games in the living room.
Porch out back is great for some fresh air.
One catch: the bathroom. The toilet is enclosed with a door. The shower, bathtub, and sink are not. One must walk through the bathroom to get to the main bedroom and the loft.This was a non-issue for our group. The shower has frosted glass so you can stilI enjoy a bit of privacy as everybody else is filtering in and out of the bathroom. If you need something more private, change your outlook. It is worth the slight quirkiness.
