Claude was a wonderful host! She gave great directions to the markets and attractions. The loft was perfect as it was right around the corner from the convention center and old Montreal was within easy walking distance. The metro is right up the street, and it was so nice to be able to do laundry during our stay. Only complaint is that there is an outside light that shines all night so even with the shades drawn it still can wake you up at night but other than that, great place to stay!!
