We travelled to Montreal for Osheaga over the August long weekend. In total we were 7 people and 2 dogs so we were very keen to find a central, dog-friendly location. This unit has a great location and is dog-friendly (at the time of our visit) but there are some important caveats for groups. As other guests have noted, it’s important to flag that this is a basement apartment and there is no garden or garden view as the name implies. The windows on the side of the unit face the parking lot and at the front face the street and they all have bars on them. There are about 4 steps down into the unit from the street level.
The listing also indicates that there are 2 “closed bedrooms” but only one has a door, the other was behind a large curtain with no window. This worked ok for our group - just a note if you are in need of private rooms. The kitchen area is very large and it was fun to have the pool table during our down time.
The floors, as others have noted, were very dirty to the point where our white socks were quite dark after a few hours in the apartment. House rules explicitly state that shoes cannot be worn in the unit so I would expect the floors to be much cleaner upon arrival. Otherwise we didn’t have any problems with cleanliness.
Parking was very close by and was about $35/ 24 hours. It was worth it for us based on the proximity to the unit (about a one minute walk.) Overall, our stay was good but our expectations were a bit higher given the cost of the unit for the weekend.
