Claude was an excellent hostess. She provided a list of recommendations and was available for questions throughout our stay, while respecting our privacy. The loft was clean and just as described. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels available for our stay. The location was perfect for touring the city, as it was in close proximity to many of the cities great attractions. We were able to walk to Rue St Catherine for shopping, the Notre Dame basilica, Old Montreal, St Laurant and Mount Royal, all from the central location of the loft. We loved Montreal and would definitely stay at the Authentic Loft again.
