Tiziano met and greeted us when we arrived, and oriented us to the apartment. This small apartment is on the second floor of an old building, accessed via a steep set of spiral outside stairs and a very small balcony landing. While the access did not create too much of a problem for us, it will definitely be prohibitive for anyone with any kind of mobility issues. The door locks took a little work to figure out, but eventually we got it. There are two moderately spacious bedrooms with queen sized beds, and a very comfortable pull out queen sofa bed. The small dining area and kitchen are well furnished and stocked with ample dishes and cookware. There is also an ensuite washer and dryer, which is very convenient! Tiziano even provides laundry detergent for his guests to use. The apartment was very clean, and best of all, air conditioned.... Which was very much appreciated during our unseasonably hot stay in Montreal in mid June. The location is just on the edge of Old Montreal, a few blocks from Marché Bonsecours, and only two blocks from Rue Notre Dame. It is within easy walking distance to Place D'Armes, Basilica Notre Dame, China Town and the Champs de Mars metro station. Parking can be an issue, since there are only a few free parking spots along the street, and they are strictly regulated on certain days and times... You have to pay very careful attention to the signs. Overall this was a very clean and comfortable apartment in an excellent location. Would highly recommend as long as you do not have mobility issues.
