No question, this is a great place to stay while in Montreal! Great host and cool location. Close to public transportation and lots of cool stores. We enjoyed walked to Arhoma on Rue Ontario each day for croissants and baguette. We also had a great time at getting drinks Le Blind Pig and picking up local beer and sausages from William J. Walter.
For those sensitive to noise, be aware this is on the middle level and the floors are very thin. We could hear every step of our upstairs neighbor late into the evening some nights. There are also some noisy pipes in the bathroom that we had to turn off each time to avoid major rattling when neighbor user their sink.
Philippe was a very attentive host though, so I have little doubt he won’t try to solve these issues! Perfect place to stay for younger folks, groups of friends, heavy sleepers, etc.
