Our stay in Montreal was wonderful primarily because of out perfect lodging in Mo's loft. It was central to the old city which is where we were centered and which absorbed all our interest. We did not use any wheeled transportation, nor car, nor train, nor metro, nor even a bike. Not that we couldn't have. The loft was clean, completely equipped, and modern. For a couple, it was capacious and homey. As for our host, Mo, he was out of the country but his brother filled in like a professional hotelier, and was ever there to take care of every question and concern...not that we had many. He was instantly available when needed, and invisible when not. I have used AirBB quite frequently in the last two years and while I have had only very positive experiences, this was positive even beyond that. The only other comment I might make is that if the view out the window is everything to you, you will have to stand to the side to see the beautiful St Lawrence as the long wall of windows faces on to other buildings. I don't know anything about Montreal except all that I saw in 4 days (which was a lot!), but I don't see how a couple could do any better for the cost.
