Sylvie is a wonderful host. She was responsive to my emails and provided information regarding key pick-up and drop off. The apartment has historical charm and is well situated near the Mile End neighborhood and very close to public transportation making it convenient to get to other areas of Montreal. The apartment was as shown in the pictures and very clean. Nice touches also includes arrival food items and a fluffy robe. As mentioned by the previous reviewer, there is a strong odor of second hand smoke - this was my only issue with this charming apartment
