This was an experience well deserving of its Superhost status. This place was perfect. It was very clean, centrally located and walking distance from everything with bars and restaurant a block away. Coming from NYC, Yin Ji Chang Fen Rice Roll is one of the best chinese breakfast rice roll place ever, on par with the best in Hong Kong. Our host invited us for drinks in his gorgeous apartment on his stunning terrace. He gave us MANY recommendations and took his time to show us around the city. We went for breakfast, a hike and most importantly a good time!!! He was very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions, also flexible with check-in and check-out time which was extremely helpful.
You need to bike around Montreal to experience the city itself, there is a Bixi stand right around the corner from the apartment. We chose the monthly pass and ended up using the bikes multiple times in 3 days, it is definitely worth it. At least do the 15 min bike ride (all downhill) to Marché Atwater for fresh produce/baked goods and Canal Lounge for drinks. Following with the 30 min ride (easy flat ride) along the river to Old Montreal and checkout some restaurants, rooftop cocktails, street performance just be a tourist and soak up the vibes. If you are familiar with Montreal street parking sign, there is free parking around the area. By the way, pay attention to where the pedestrian crosswalk curb is located, hence you can't park there. You can also do the on-site paid parking garage attached to the building to save you from the headache. Like the host mentioned, if you are a vampire, bring some eye covers but the sunrise is absolutely gorgeous and will help kick start your day early!!!
Do not hesitate, this place is a no-brainer. We will definitely recommend friends and everyone else to stay!!
