Our stay was overall good at Artie's. The location is close to many resturants and shops. Old Montreal was about 20 min walk from the place and very easy to get to. Glad that parking was available since it can be quite difficult to find around which made it convenient. From the first look of the entry way and staircase it is not very nice but the loft itself was spacious and had what you needed. We traveled with a toddler so with the steep stairs and toddler it can be a bit difficult. It is also on a very busy street with bars so can get quite loud/noisy. Would say, it's a perfect spot for group of friends to stay.
