Overall good experience at Alain's place. The location is perfect, its right in the heart of Old Montreal, and walkable to many places in the area. The train station is a 15 min walk. The loft itself is beautiful, its a huge open space that's nicely decorated with art and cool furniture. The loft was tidy and pretty clean. There was no liquid hand soap in the bathroom though, just a used soap bar, which I do not like using. Check-in and check out was pretty smooth.
Things to note though: the Nespresso machine/coffee and the printer in the pictures were no where to be found in the loft. Noise from the street does travel into the apartment but that's the trade off for staying right in the heart of it.
I would stay here again, thanks to Alain for a great stay.
