I spent 6 nights in the 'little studio'. Due to a snafu, the studio was not available when I arrived on Friday evening, but Martin sorted the situation out (‘pas de panic’) by offering me his guest room in his apartment (and would have paid for a hotel room had I insisted) and the studio was ready for occupation early the next morning, so this only led to very minor inconvenience. Martin was a lovely guy and he made himself available in case I needed any info or help, although I did not take him up on this as I was busy at a conference for most of the week. I immediately felt at home in the studio. It is functional, well equipped and very stylish: ideal for a short stay. The outdoor deck with barbecue was a bonus. As mentioned by others, the entrance is via a circular staircase at the back of the bakery past a row of garbage cans and the odd dried up bagel but put that down to Montreal charm! I just mention it for those of delicate dispositions but I would certainly stay in the studio again and recommend it to my friends. Great location, great apartment, great city and a hot bagel for breakfast every morning! Merci Martin!
