My partner and I simply loved staying at Alexander' Vintage Refuge! For one thing, we really appreciated the old-school hi-fi system. We played records all weekend! The vintage vibe made us feel perfectly at home, and gave us a good sense of what it might actually be like to live in Montreal. It did not feel overly curated in the way that many AirBnBs these days are, but rather had a genuine "someone actually might live here" feel, which we liked. The location could not have been better! We were able to walk or bike to practically everything we wanted to see and do in and around Le Plateau Mont-Royal: restaurants, boutiques, record stores...you name it!
The only (very minor) issues included:
-The front door keypad lock is a bit tricky to open/close, but did not pose a security threat
-The bed is a double which proved a bit too small for two of us
Other than that, we had a really memorable stay, and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine Montreal experience!
