We had an excellent stay at Marie's loft. It's on the ground floor with easy access. The pool table is a great bonus and a fun way to end the day. Marie was super helpful and gave us a delicious platter when we arrived for our 10 day stay.
It was a great base as we moved our daughter into McGill university. Very close to great bars and restaurants on St Laurent, Duluth and St Denis and a quiet spot to come back to after hours of walking the sights. Lots of Bixi bike stations nearby to get around the city on bikes and a 10 minute walk from the base of Mont Royal. If you do have a car watch the parking signs as each side of the street gets cleaned once a week. Learnt that one the expensive way ;) We rented a car from Turo which was excellent and more convenient than an airport rental.
Definitely coming back.
