This is an amazing loft in a fabulous location! It's pretty true to the pictures and very well equipped - plenty of linens, dishes, coffee fixins, etc. A couple pros and cons from our experience:
Pros:
- large, open, comfortable living area with large TV and Sonos music player
- pool table!
- really great location in Old Montreal - right next to the Pointe-a-Calliere museum, down the road from Notre Dame Basilica and across from the Science center
- lots of sleeping space - perfect for our family of 4 (parents in the main king bed, daughter in the second bedroom and son on the king bed downstairs)
- great decor - really fun and interesting design touches
Cons:
- not great communication with the host (slow or no replies to messages). I think this is uncharacteristic from other host reviews, but was our experience.
- the loft shows some wear, not all guests seem to treat it with respect and care, and several doors and pieces of furniture are visibly damaged.
- the heat rises, making the upstairs area uncomfortably hot when the heat was on.
- little privacy (which may be inherent in the loft design). The second bedroom can only be accessed through the first/main bedroom, and likewise, the upstairs bathroom is off the main bedroom.
- the whole loft gets bright when the sun comes up. Not necessarily a "con", but worth noting that it can be tough to sleep in.
- steep steps up to the loft and within the loft to the second floor. Again - this isn't necessarily a con - just something to be aware of. No problems for our family.
Overall, it's a fantastic loft in a great location.
