Our experience staying at Alex’s condo really reinforced the reason we choose to stay in AirBnBs versus hotels when we travel – our time in Montreal was unforgettable, unique and felt very local. The condo was exactly as described/pictured and even more interesting in person. We were staying on a mini-honeymoon and really appreciated the location, cleanliness and character of the place. Alex had it so well decorated with photos and trinkets from his travels abroad. There was room to relax on the couch and hook up our laptop to watch a movie. We also enjoyed breakfast on the balcony off of the kitchen with ivy plants and a view of the quaint, wooded alley. The condo had everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable. We had some trouble with the WiFi to start but Alex was very responsive and prompt in getting it fixed for us which we appreciated. Alex was also very kind to give us recommendations for his favorite bars and restaurants in the neighborhood and throughout the city. We checked out L’Entre-Pots for breakfast, La Buvette Chez Simone and Pizza Nepoletana for dinner, Patati Patata for poutine and Bar Big in Japan for drinks – we enjoyed them all! We would also highly recommend a nearby bar that we stumbled upon on our last night in Montreal – La Distillerie – it’s a great place for craft cocktails, very knowledgeable bartenders and extremely friendly service. Thanks for such a great stay, Alex!
