Overall, great value for the location and stylish place if you're spending a weekend away in Montreal.
Pros:
- The location and the proximity to major streets like Rue Rachel, Mont Royal and Saint Laurent and parks to La Fontaine. We spent a lot of time outside the apartment and being close to these major streets and the parks were great!
- Stylish place and well decorated. We loved the little accents around the place and can tell that Denis has made the place cozy.
- Bed is comfortable and we slept very well.
- Shower was great!
Cons:
- The bathroom door does not close. We propped the ironing board against the door to keep it closed.
- The room temperature was set to 16 degrees and we were unable to change the temperature (We didn't reach out to Denis for this as it didn't bother us since we stayed during the heat wave weekend).
- Washroom sink is really small and when we tried to wash anything, we ended up splashing ourselves and the floor.
- As my partner and I are not locals to the area, we spent a solid hour half finding parking. I understood that there would be plenty of parking from discussions with Denis. However given that it's a residential area, there were very limited spots for visitors. We ended up purchasing street parking at a nearby convenience store and was able to park in the permit area. We also tried to reach out to Denis when we couldn't find parking and he had copied/pasted his boilerplate discussion. Would have been more helpful if he provided a map of where free/paid parking was available.
