We stayed here during a family trip to Montreal with 6 adults and 4 children aged 1 through 12. The 6 bedrooms were such a luxury to have and allowed all of us to properly rest and relax after lots of walking throughout the city. The place was well appointed with everything you would need to get started. As the trip went on, we asked for a few extra things and restocks of things like paper towels and toilet paper. All of our questions, concerns and requests were responded to and met immediately. Excellent guest service for sure.
The location was very convenient to many popular attractions and trendy areas. It is located on a fairly busy street for cars and foot traffic though. The noise is mostly insulated by the building but you will hear anyone or thing that's extra loud throughout the day. There was a festival going on half a block away and the noise was pretty consistent but nothing that would keep even the lighter sleepers awake. A few blocks away towards Chinatown are also some shadier characters that did make us feel a tiny bit uncomfortable at times but they were all harmless.
If you're traveling with young children be aware that the stairway going up to the unit is steep and narrow. Strollers and other daily baby gear will need to be carried up the stairs every time as there is no storage area at the ground level to leave them. Also, if you have a wandering baby like I do the stairs can pose a safety issue. It was easily remedied with an inexpensive baby gate from a close-by Walmart but still, I want all families to know of the concern. The host was again very helpful and offered to help me out with the situation.
Parking was probably the only issue that led to trouble and stress. It's of no fault of the host but the street parking was rough. You definitely get the hang of it when you notice there are a few sections of street parking that are without meters ($3.75/hr, 2 hr limit) and/or without restrictions during a large window of time during the day. The rest are all metered and while they all do allow overnight parking (after 9 pm) free, you have to be aware of street cleaning and no parking hours that start in the early morning hours. The festival that ran late into the night also made street parking even harder as people trickled in and out. I highly recommend reading up or watching a few Youtube videos of the parking signs in the city before visiting. The official Montreal parking meter app was also a godsend that allowed us to not have to pay for parking remotely.
