The studio was perfect for us. It's in the basement of the house and we had private access through the back door. The little studio is outfitted with a futon bed and equipment for light food preparation, including an electric kettle and French press. I would say the bathroom is mostly private - the sink, toilet, and shower are only used by you but the washer/dryer in the same room is used by other people as well. I really appreciated that Magali provided drinking water via a water dispenser since we like to drink tea both in the morning and evenings. The wifi was not too strong in the basement, so we just explored the many many cafes in the city for other wifi sources. If you stay here, don't miss out on visiting Marché Jean-Talon and picking up some fresh vegetables to prepare in your studio!
