Nicki's place was great. The location is good in a stylish neighborhood very close to the Metro, with great restaurants close by. We found the space relaxing. It has an old style feel, which we liked. As mentioned in other reviews, the toilet is in a very small room (separate from the sink/shower - guessing these were added later) and might be challenging for taller people who don't want to have the door open when using the toilet. Other than that, the place is great. I agree that it's larger than we expected. Check in and check out (we left very early in the morning to catch a flight) was easy using the lock box on the outside door knob, and Nicki was very responsive to our messages, and she also sent a message mid-stay to check in on us which was nice. One thing we learned unrelated to the accommodations was this... we had a 7am flight to NYC and it snowed all night. We could not get an Uber at 5am as none were available. Thankfully, we called a taxi company and managed to get a taxi, but the driver told us we were lucky to get one because many drivers choose not to drive in those conditions. He showed us on the screen in his taxi how many people had called for taxis with no availability. I was very surprised that Montreal didn't handle the snow better. It was only about 6 inches (15cm) or so. The roads were not cleared well at all and the airport wasn't cleared out well either. We made our flight, but we felt that we got lucky. Just something to consider when planning your trip in the winter. Montreal is lovely in the snow, but getting around in it proved to be difficult! Had we know the traffic situation, we would have planned to get up earlier and use the Metro (which is a very close walk to the Laurier station) to the 747 bus to the airport.
