The second-floor apartment is gorgeous - newly remodeled, modern decor with warm touches. We loved the original brick walls and high ceilings in this 250-year old building combined with the warm wood and clean, inviting decor. The huge soaking tub was a wonderful way to treat myself after walking around the city each day. The electrical outlets were plentiful, and the wifi was great. The kitchen has a sink, refrigerator, and microwave. Sandie provided coffee, tea, juice, bread, yogurt, cereal and fruit for every morning in the lovely breakfast room on the first floor.
The apartment is on vibrant rue St. Denis with shops and restaurants plentiful in every direction. There is a grocery store a block away. It is close to the subway, and a bus runs on St. Denis. You can hear street noise when the bedroom window is open, but when it's closed, we did not hear noise. The bed is luxurious and comfortable.
The best part about our stay was our host, Sandie. She was waiting on her terrace when we drove up. She helped us bring our luggage inside, and drove with us to the parking lot a couple of blocks away where we could leave our car during our stay. She was so very helpful and patient answering questions and giving us maps and literature about things to do and see in Montreal. She treated us like friends and family always offering to do something for us. She was always available by text or phone. She lives on the third floor above the apartment we rented, so she was always close by if we needed anything.
This was our first stay at an Airbnb, and we were delighted with the experience. We didn't know what to expect, and Sandie exceeded our expectations. If there were a category for Super Superhost, Sandie would be at the top of that list.
