Overall we had a great stay in this flat which is in a fantastic location on the Plateau!
PROS: After a long flight it was easy to stock up on food from the depanneur and pastry shops literally next door. The space has a big window that lets in nice light and looks out onto the busy Montreal street below. The bedroom is quiet as it is tucked into the back of the flat, and has a comfy king bed. The kitchen is functional - we made several meals while were there. The rooftop views are amazing (!) unfortunately it was too cold for us to spend much time on the patio but this feature would be a brilliant addition to this place in the summer months. Lovely park/ St Louis square is close by too. When we had issues, the host responded immediately through the message feature on the Airbnb app and was very friendly and helpful.
CONS: The space feels a little bit shabby and is minimalist in terms of extras. Although we had arranged to use the sofa bed in the front room, we had to ask for blankets for it and it was unclear whether the sheets had been cleaned (although not at all the feeling for the king bed in the bedroom). We also had to ask for a dish cloth, dish towel, and bread knife. The kitchen had been quickly cleaned and so the coffee pot was still filled with old coffee and there was a dirty pan in the oven. These things are minor but left me wondering what else hadn't been cleaned...
I would recommend this flat again- right in the vibrant Montreal scene within walking distance to so many great things to see and do (and transportation).
