Eric's place on St. Denis is a wonderful example of a Montreal apartment in a typically lively Montreal neighbourhood, with high ceilings, a rambling selection of well-sized rooms, and remnants of interesting period details throughout. The walls are primarily white with grey trim and lively coloured accents, and the floors are vintage hardwood. The apartment is a perfect arrangement and layout for 2-4 or 5 people, with a large dining area as well as a counter bar in the kitchen. The single bathroom with a separate toilet room is useful especially for groups of more than 3. The location is excellent especially for those interested in exploring the Plateau area, though a subway stop is also literally around the corner on Mont Royal for getting to neighbourhoods further away. Lots of restaurants, cafes, bars both along St. Denis and Mont Royal and along other streets nearbye all within easy walking distance.
We didn't meet Eric in person, but his communications were swift and helpful, and he arranged for someone from the bar on the main floor, to give us the keys when we first arrived. Small heads up: The apartment is on the 3rd floor and is straight up 2 longish flights of steps, so bear this in mind when booking viz your luggage and your physical ability. We were fine but it could be a challenge for some. We'd book it again. Great value!
