Mark’s Airbnb studio was in a great location in Mile End. It was walking distance to many excellent restaurants, accessible to bus/public transportation, and with supermarkets, pharmacies and other stores nearby.
The unit is up two flights of stairs, and it is small—a studio indeed—but it was fine for me to sleep and relax in. It was good to have the small kitchen, as I could use the kettle for tea and store food in the refrigerator. There was a portable air conditioner in the studio, which was loud when on, but truly helped during the hot summer days. I spent much of my time exploring the neighborhood and city, so I didn’t use the outdoor patio (accessible via the window?).
There was an issue with wifi during my stay. But this appeared to be part of a carrier’s system-wide connection issue that the carrier was having trouble addressing. Cafés around the neighborhood have wifi, which one can definitely use (along with a nice espresso or two, of course).
It is possible to check out after 11 am (for a fee, as explained in the booking information). I appreciated that Mark could accommodate the late check out, as my flight was in the evening. It saved me the time and effort of bringing my bags with me to a luggage storage place.
Overall, a great stay at a great location! I enjoyed my time in Montréal!
