Charles and Valérie’s place is absolutely fantastic! We have stayed, as a family of four, at dozens and dozens of Airbnbs over the past few years, and this place is one of our very favorites. The apartment is squeaky clean and very well set up for guests, with all kinds of thoughtful, well-considered touches. The communal spaces are very large, and we never felt cramped over our 4 day stay (which, when traveling with two teenagers can really mean a lot to all parties involved!). The two bedrooms are tiny, but that was completely fine, as there was also ample closet space for storing our things. My daughter, who loves high spaces, was thrilled by the little alcove bed above the living room, and my son was very pleased to have his own room.
The shower was very nice, and there was a lovely bathtub as well.
The apartment is directly across from the metro station and above a really excellent third wave coffee shop. There is a great fruit and veggies market around the corner and a grocery store just up the street. The area in general is great - full of restaurants and shops etc. We were in Montreal looking at McGill for our son, and we felt like the apartment was in a nice location for this purpose. My son feels like he has gotten a good sense of the city, and we did a lot of walking around through the surrounding neighborhoods. We are already planning our next trip to Montreal, and hope very much that Charles and Valérie’s place is free when we do!
