When Joseph’s caption tells you “This is IT!” — believe it and book this place right away. Every interaction we had with Joseph was gracious, timely, and insightful — both in the booking process and in person. As to the apartment itself, in addition to being thoughtfully arrayed with conveniences we’ve never encountered in an AirBnB before (magically fresh-ground espresso, anyone?) the location is spectacular.
We were able to walk to the Mile End for our food tour, and even found it manageable to walk from the apartment all the way to the top of Mont Royal! The Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood itself is so worthy of your exploration — and Joseph’s library of guidebooks provides you with two particularly excellent gems to do so: one is a red book that talks about contemporary art throughout the city, and the second — my favorite — is a well-loved and personally notated edition of “Montreal On Foot With An Artist: The Plateau.” And if you forget your umbrella, no worries: Joseph provides you with a selection of options you can tuck into your daypack — along with some fresh fruit to take with you on your adventures.
So to sum up: Joseph is right. This is IT. We will be back!!
