High-rises are nice, but the beauty and comfort of a well-managed place like this cannot be topped by glass and steel! Not only is this place ROOMY, it's furnished better than many other AirBnB's we've stayed in. The beds were the most comfortable of any during the 2 weeks we were in Canada. Everything was as shown, promised, and expected. A very clean place to stay, with none of the structural issues we found in a few other places... to include one modern high-rise.
Communication was great with Dany and the person helping him. We did have the wrong door code originally from the auto-response through AirBnB, but fortunately we got an updated code and other information through a message from Dany.
The location was great for us, as we like to walk and explore. There is a small grocery store just around the corner. Out the front door and to your left, up Berri St, is Rue Saint-Gregoire and numerous shops/cafes. If you head out, to the corner on your right, turn right and head to St Laurent Blvd, you have a HUGE number of options for places to eat and shop. If you know of Leonard Cohen and his music, there is one of two murals (both on very tall buildings) of him in the Mile End area. There's also a home of his that is a historic building now (although no markings at all that we could find, had to ask locals).
You can take the bus up to the top of Mount Royal or hike it, if the weather is right for you, and enjoy some brilliant views. If you like to hike as we do, you can walk to McGill University and the area around there, head down to Saint-Catherine St and immerse yourself in shops, high-rise buildings, parks, cathedrals, and museums. Then after all that walking... hahaha... you will have this wonderful place to kickback and relax in.
During out 2 weeks between Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto, this place was one of the 2 best AirBnB's out of the 6 we stayed in. Seeing as how this was the last place to stay before we flew out... it was much appreciated prior to the long flight back to the U.S. West Coast! Thank you Dany and all!
