Location, location, location - but also incredible comfort, space, security. This was the perfect base for exploring Montreal. You’re in the Plateau, with its ubiquitous (& great) restaurants, but also close to downtown and McGill, a block from the Metro and Bixi bikes. The apartment is really spacious, with every convenience we could have wanted. The bedroom is set in the back, where we never heard street noise, but even on Saturday night St. Denis was quiet after 10. There are 3 outdoor spaces, one of which was being renovated, but we enjoyed the others. Terrific bakery next door. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very accommodating. Hope to go back soon!
