Wonderful stay! Our first visit to Montreal—definitely not our last. The flat is soooo conveniently located in the very urban (and funky) Plateau area—one block from Metro, 20-30 minute walk to Vieux Montreal & Centre Ville. (We did not have a car—didn’t need one.)
Highlights: boulangerie 2 doors south, great cafés nearby (including Chat L’Heureux cat café), restaurants to suit every taste within a few blocks (we gained five pounds each—with Ethiopian, poutine, French, and Chinese meals), cute Square St Louis just south. The flat itself is comfortable, surprisingly quiet (St Denis is a busy street), well-equipped, perfect for spending time (we did serious reading one rainy day as well during the evenings). We took in the view from the charming rooftop but it is November so we didn’t linger. We are old (65 & 70) so comfort and convenience are particularly important to us—but we’ll never be too old to prefer funky rather than stuffy. This flat certainly met our needs. And our host was quick to answer our two or three questions.
