This was our first Airbnb experience, and I'm glad Alex was the one to usher us into this world. The Skylit Loft in Old Montreal was the perfect place to stay for so many reasons:

1. The loft is very cool, stylish and has personality unlike any hotel.
2. The location is perfect. While it is located in the midst of so much it is very quietly situated at the back of the building, away from the hustle and bustle waiting for you outside the front door.
3. Alex made it so easy to arrange to stay at the loft and a personal note was waiting for us to make start our feeling right at home.

The only drawback, and Alex was clear about this, is that it is a walk up to the loft. As he clearly told us, "Pack light." I'm so glad he did. The great news about the walk up is that you will get exercise that enables you to increase your intake of all the delicious food Montreal has to offer. On that note, I would recommend that you get supplies for the kitchen (coffee, water, juice, snacks etc.) prior to your first trip up. Once you get up the stairs and into the loft, you won't want to run right back out. You'll want to relax, hang and enjoy it. So, plan ahead.
