No surprise the that these guys are Superhosts. Communication was quick, thorough and very pleasant. This Mile End studio is pretty much exactly as the hosts describe it.
It's location makes it perfect for exploring Mount Royal and a zillion superb restaurants within a short walk. (Guillaume Boulangerie was a standout for us with its vast array of crusty, chewy, flavorful loaves and Ils Flottante has the most innovative vegetarian tasting menu we've experienced.) Mass transit is right in front, or walk 30 minutes to get to the older city/waterfront.
All the living areas are contained within one very large floor-though space with windows at each end. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, glassware, cutlery, toaster, French press and cleaning supplies. It has almost everything you need to create your own full scale meals except a full sized stove (but there is a toaster oven - which, in our case, was all we needed). Best though, is the massive 8-seater dining table which you can spread all your belongings out on and still have room for your wine and cheese.
The bathroom is a bit quirky with it's unconfined shower - but we got used to that very quickly. (Bring a cheap pair of flip flops to make navigating between the wet floor and the kitchen more comfortable).
If you don't need to be in the middle of all the tourist attractions, this studio is pretty perfect.
