My husband and I spent New Year's in Montreal, and this loft was sooo special for the occasion.

We were only a three minute walk from the waterfront for the city's countdown show and fireworks presentation, a five minute walk from the Palais de Justice, and one block from the beautiful Notre Dame Basilica. A high end wine shop is on the end of the block, a convenience store with wine is next door, and coffee is everywhere. We walked in snow to the Plateau for dinner in less than 45 minutes, and Uber rides there were about $10. (To that end: both Au Pied de Cochon and Maison Publique are amazing!)

The loft is as-pictured but better. The living room is spacious and modern and sexy, and I really liked the kitchen, with a convenient island for dropping off our hats and mittens before pouring wine. The bed is comfortable, and the bedroom closet has a good amount of space, with an ironing board and iron available. The loft is up a lot of steep stairs, but we needed the exercise after eating such amazing local nose-to-tail cuisine.

Ana checked in on us soon after arrival, and she went out of her way to consult Alex for parking suggestions for us. We were able to find street parking on the block on arrival, but snow would be cleared from the curb the next day, so we had to move; we found a lot around the rear of the Palais de Justice where we could leave our car for $18 a day. Communication was great throughout!

I highly recommend the place. Definitely a memorable start to 2016 for us.
