This little studio makes a good pied-à-terre for a short visit to Montréal. It's hardly more than five minutes' walk of the coach terminal (intercity and airport shuttle), and a major metro interchange. The useful end of St Catherine street (groceries, pharmacies, dollar store, liquor store, restaurants and cafés) is just a few blocks due south, and the centre of town is easily accessible by city bus or even by foot (about 20 minutes' brisk walk to Place des Arts). The room is basic, but clean, with lots of appliances (most usefully, a microwave oven and hot plate), miscellaneous but practical tableware and cutlery. The atmosphere suggests something of the kind of rooming house where an aspiring screenwriter or novelist might have begun, albeit without the unwelcome street noise or unsavoury local colour of the gritty city.
