An amazing corner apartment in a luxury building. The apartment: spacious, extremely clean, meticulously maintained and organized; lots of windows and light, and a large balcony; fast wifi; two full bathrooms with a huge number of towels of all sizes; TVs in the master bedroom and in the living room; the kitchen has everything you might possibly need (a large fridge, a stove, a microwave, a toaster, a coffee-maker and an electric kettle); cool artwork everywhere; a great sofa in the living room, and a very nice and convenient office space in an area adjacent to the living room, where I had my laptop set up. Rosaire was an amazing and helpful host: he gave me a full tour of the building an the apartment when I arrived; provided lots of maps and tourist info; gave a detailed printout with his contact info and lots of useful info about the apartment, the building and the neighborhood; he also left me some food and beer in the fridge (which I much appreciated since I arrived after 11pm). The building: a luxury apartment building, with a 24-hour doorman; the building has its own gym and a pool; a laundry room on the first floor with lots of washing machines and dryers (Rosaire provided a key card for using these machines); there is also a dry cleaner shop right next to the laundry room. There is a grocery/convenience store in the building, with entrances both from the street and from inside the building. A taxi stand right outside the building, and there were taxis available there essentially at any time. The location: very close to the Peel metro station, and to various buses on Sherbrooke and on Maisonneuve; also close to Mt Royal park and to McGill. Lots and lots of good restaurants and coffee shops nearby, and close to a major shopping venue on Rue St Catherine. The only partial minus is that there are no big supermarkets nearby (Rosaire did explain to me how to get to a couple of those, but they were not within easy walking distance). However, with the convenience store available in building itself, I found that I was able to buy all the food that I needed there, and I never felt the need to go to a big supermarket.

I stayed at Rosaire's apartment for a week, while visiting McGill, and had an amazing time - probably my best airbnb experience so far. Highly recommended!
