This was the third holiday season we have rented in Montreal (6+ weeks each stay) and this apartment was the best yet! The location was great, on a pedestrian street, and close to St Laurent and walking distance to Place des Arts. It was just as pictured, nicely updated and when we walked in everything was clean and smelled fresh. New towels and linens were swapped out periodically. There was free high speed internet and the heating system was great—-you can set the temperature to your own comfort. The host Vladimir was very responsive, once to locking the keys in the apartment and another time, tripping a breaker. Vladimir has several apartments in this building, this particular apartment is on the top, or third floor, no problem if you can do stairs. We were very happy to find an apartment and host like Vladimir, and would check with him first if we are in need of extended housing again in Montreal!
