We (4 friends) just returned from a weekend stay (3 nights) at Jonathan’s place in Montreal.
Located in Old Montreal, it was perfectly situated, and centrally located, to meet our needs.
Booking:
Jonathan was very helpful with communicating details about check in, as well as other requested information and responded to our questions quickly. The booking process was seamless, via the Airbnb platform.
Checkin:
Was via key left in the lockbox outside of the apartment entry. We frequently use Airbnb when travelling throughout the world. Usually we have to arrange a meetup with the owner, so this was a bit different, but it worked even better to checkin this way. During our stay, Jonathan was always available to answer any of our questions.
The Apartment:
Great location; very clean; very user friendly; comfortable beds; plush towels; the apartment appears newly renovated. As others have observed, it is larger than the photos convey. It has some nice “old-world” character, while also a bit modern.
You will note that this property is located above a pub and you might be concerned about noise interfering with relaxation/sleep; however, we experienced no difficulty with sound transfer from the pub below at night. I am picky about noises, but at this place, I barely noticed a sound. The windows reminded us of the sort installed in apartments in Paris- very thick, noise blocking. That helps muffle the usual city sounds.
There are stairs to take, to get up to the apartment, so if you have mobility problems, that could be an issue. We had no difficulty.
Amenities:
This apartment has everything you will likely need, and then some, for your stay. Again, dishes and linens appear like new.
Checkout:
Was as seamless as the checkin. Leave key in lockbox and go.
We will be “bookmarking” this rental for our next trip to Montreal and I would not hesitate to recommend this spot to friends and family.
