Alex was great - a few days prior to us arriving, he sent an email with all the necessary and useful information regarding his loft. Arrival was smooth. At the front entrance to the block of apartments, the bottom glass panal was broken - Alex specially sent an email to let me know that the landlord is aware and will be fixing it soon. Although I wasn't fussed about it at all as the neighbourhood felt very safe, it was comforting that Alex took the effort to let me know.

The loft is on the 3rd floor, so while we were advised against, we had huge suitcases (> 20kgs) each that we had to bring up (we travelled from Asia!). It was a good workout and the daily hike up and down the stairs kept our fitness levels in check.

The loft was a beauty - we loved spending time in it and it was a struggle deciding if we should explore more of Montreal or laze around in the loft. Location is perfect, right next to the Notre-Dame cathedral and very conveniently located.

Parking isn't really straightforward if you aren't from the area so make sure you are aware of the rules of street parking.

Perfect stay, probably the best airbnb experience I have had so far! Thanks Alex!
