Simon is a fantastic host! My husband and I are late sleepers, and we were out and about a lot so we didn't get to interact with Simon much, but we really appreciated the flexibility he offers (we checked in much later than we anticipated and he was very accommodating); his timely responses to our questions; and his general helpfulness and hospitality!
It was very hot in Montreal during the days we were there (early July), so our room was quite warm, but we didn't mind so much as we we really only used the space for sleeping. And I am sure that this is not an issue during other times of the year when it's not so hot. When we arrived there was only one pillow on our bed, but Simon provided us more immediately. The bathroom was very clean and the shower had great water pressure. We didn't make much use of the kitchen since we wanted to experience as many restaurants as possible, but all of the drawers and cabinets were well-stocked and labeled so we could find where everything was. I realized while we were driving home that we accidentally left some leftover poutine in the fridge :( sorry Simon!! Overall, this is a great space!
This is an especially a great place to stay if your goal is to explore the city. It's in an amazing location!! It's also great because my husband and I felt comfortable coming and going at different hours (and did our best to be as quiet as possible doing so). We didn't really see or interact with the other guests who were staying there at the same time as us, but everyone seemed very respectful, quiet, etc. Just a note for other guests (although this is completely outside of Simon's control): while we got REALLY lucky with parking, it's not the easiest place to find a good parking spot, so just be aware of that when driving here.
Overall we definitely recommend Simon's place for a short stay in Montreal, whether you are exploring, here for business, etc. It's was very lovely. Thank you Simon!
